Message:: [QUOTE="scottied67, post: 4289889, member: 40325"]It is basically the same pay as Swift on the cheapest routes, just that we have to pay the tolls, plates trailer rent and maintenance up front rather than indirectly thru short miles and  no fuel discounts.. You can study the rate charts up there and cherry pick the best lanes to get your CPM averages up. Using good paying brokers to get the $1.80 - $2 buck chuck is also available but I have heard they new independent contractors signing on will only be able to use the trailer pool fleet unless they purchase their own trailer. This will limit the broker freight for the new guys because the company will focus on keeping those IC's in network. Occasionaly you might get into a place with no terminal like SLC and have to use the RR agents who in my experience don't pay very well. Tried calling outside brokers to book some loads, the Backhaul dept finds some excuse not to approve the broker or shipper various reasons like bad credit . The most important thing to me is that I am monumentally happy.[/QUOTE]
