    I nwver pulled a load from wi terminal but get with the linehaul for that terminal. They should be able to tell you about what loads leave and coming back in. Wish you luck on everything

    terrence, you don't pay the backhaul insurance? It's $76 bucks and gets you up to 92% rate.

    When you get ahold of the recruiter he will send you the flat mileage rate sheet for T2T freight. From there you can see what the lanes pay.
    Terence said it best, you get ahold of the planner and find out the best places they have outbound and inbound freight coming and going consistently and try to get on that dedicated gig. I heard of a guy hwo runs from Los Angeles to Milwaukie 4200 miles a week in a 100 mph blinged out peterbilt. When he wants to go home he has an old retired guy who runs his truck for a week. .

    The perfect situation wold be to own 3 trailers, one at each terminal you come and go from and the one you haul between and do drop and hooks so you never have to wait for a reload.

    Otherwise do like most of us do, try to link a high paying terminal load with a lower paying terminal load or 2 cheap T2T's this week and 2 good paying T2T's next week and keep your average pay up there and shoot for that $200 k a year on 110,000 miles. .
