    Same for me in Great Lakes area. If I do 10 hours tomorrow, I'll have more hours this week than I've had in a week for 6 months. I average 51-52 a week, on track for 59 this week

    Wow! 4200 on 1900 miles for produce. No wonder our rates suck so bad right now. If that’s a great rate for you guys, what in the hell do you normally haul for?

    Us foods Memphis is one that will not allow driver unloads now. Let’s see how the lumpers do. I’m normally out of here in less than a hour.

    (4200÷1900)÷0.72=$3.07/mile

    Regional Reefer Avg =$2.22

    So the one you're criticizing is putting upward pressure on the regional average you dislike. But you're dishonest because you hold him to a standard you fail to define, which is to specify the rate you "feel" does not "suck so bad" specifically.

    In summary, you wrote an unsound argument based off a single vague premise. In this instance your thoughts are worthless. Better luck next time.
