    So what is cheap rates? One guy talks like 1.15 is. When I first started in 1997 pulling company trailers and getting .88 cents a mile I made a huge amount of money but when I thought I could do better buy getting my own dry box and going with an all O/O company everything went downhill from there.
    Currently thinking about getting back out there but just not sure with all the negative reviews and such.

    Shoot bzinger, if your making $1.80 per mile plus fsc LEASED on to a carrier, Your doing very well.

    My thinking is your getting 73% of that rating....Im independent and everyone is hugging under $2.00 per mile All inclusive

    Yes, I have my own customers. (In case you thought I worked with brokers)
     
    bzinger Thanks this.

    I posted about this co last year about all the flatbeds & stepdecks I saw lined up in the street waiting to be loaded every week.

    Now I only see a handful of trucks waiting to be loaded but, they have at least 10 flatbeds pre-loaded waiting to be taken to their destination.

    Product looks like galvanized stamped steel, possibly solar panel stands, I've seen them before in Phx. So I was wondering who could be building a solar farm that would need all these stands?

    Was in Vegas last month and coming home South on the 95, between Boulder & Searchlite on the West side of the road is a huge solar farm that looks only 50% complete.

    Someone has to take these loads, and they seem to have a lot of them.
