Useful as it is overall, the ITS load density data still is pretty general. Because broker over list, list far in advance, or forget to remove listings, this data is subject to error. Some loads can be listed as both RV, so the system can't tell the difference, I believe. Also, note that it's presented by region and state. There's no radius load density information for metro areas, or details about regions within the big states like California and Texas, for example. Just use the numbers as a general guideline. I don't understand why OO would go dry van because this market is saturated with corp fleet drop and hook operations which are very cheap due to economies of scale and low driver salaries. Reefer vans in OH might still be able to deadhead to FL for a load, with the extreme price going to the NE being high enough to cover a deadhead of seven to nine hundred miles!

How is that, that all these guys who post here, they always favour the bully group??? by saying the error is on the postings of the loads. I know that the trucks are not available many time but they don't get removed either how come it is only one way that the. It is complete science for the educated and could be just words who does not understand that DAT is the largest board in the US and all future plannings and projections depend on it. If it was just a freaking stupid number then why every one pays $300/month for it.
The other thing is I know that fuel is at $4.64/gal on the way to northeast and the tolls addup approx $250 and my yearly insurance is over $8000 with clean records and 6 years exp. Regist IFTA and all the other bills add up quite bit. I needed a tire last week when I got here in Columbus OH. The TA shop I went to, to get it changed. Refused to changed at that time and told me to go somewhere else to get it changed. That was after they received the (terror groups call) first Rick was was willing to change it and said just get front desk to write it up and show me which one we will get it done. Next morning I went there again and now they called an out side tech Alferado (black or something) and a white guy, who was supervising him only (he had brand new uniform n did not look to be any techie, probably exploited undercover ) So any way I did get the tire changed and then I went to Eastern OH to buy some parts for my truck they were not interested to sell me or order the parts at all. I needed some welding job for may be 1-2 hours worth of work, he told me it might be about 8-10 hours I asked him how much that all comes out to be he said about $800. I told him to go ahead n do it he said it might take two weeks, WTF. When I was walking in a guy ( who appeared to escorting) synchronized his timing and stepped in exactly the same time and made some kind of stupid nod and left. If I had the 200amd arc welder it will take me no more than 45 min to an hour to weld that piece of 1/4 metal. Any way some one is trying to create(behind the seen) hostile feelings between two different colors, to have more control I guess
In way I ended up finding a very close fit for the bushing and rigged up a 8000 lb press system to get me going. -
Here is what Kristen says on this approx 450 miles run to a bad market (northeast) for $1100. There are tolls n Bull Sh*** on that direction. There is no way that she says to a old school trucker and stays healthy afterword.
Thats like telling an exploited hooker $1 for a Blow***.Attached Files:

Knight Brokerage posted another Bull Sh** load, theres no way you can make any money with them
I came here to OH on a load with Knight Brokerage, who said they were loosing money at $900 450 miles run, on this appointment load to boony land ( Beverly OH) where I went to one location and then they said we just got to go to another location to unload you about few miles. Which I did and got unloaded with-in a reasonable time after getting there. I moved up to Columbus OH for better positioning (week before last week) Now I have been phone tapped by some kind or ####### who have no clue what the market is and how the transportation industry works. If I let you listen to the 600 phone calls I made you will shoot every one of them, no questions asked. Here is ($1400) what Knight is offering going back to the bad market again. So if you run back with Knight Brokerage you will loose about $500
Here is how Total Revenue to OH = $900

Tolls were $65.00 + $181 and some change approx= =$250
Food and other expenses $25/ day X 2 =$50
Fuel cost approx =$500
Registration Insurance and other highway related Taxes $94/day X2 =$188
Mishap of trailer tire going bad and handling it very conservatively =$300
Running back with Knight Brokerage, Another 560 miles or so to the Bad market
Total revenue to the bad market (northeast) =$1400
Fuel and additives approx =$500
Tolls =$250
2 days expenses =$50
Reg & Insu =$188
Lets say no repairs this way
Total expenses for the round trip =$2276
