    Should i buy a trl and go out on my own? Right now, im working for this co. that pays 80% of linehaul and 100% fsc. Its a dry van co. I have my own authority. I dont think im getting the best paying loads. They have co trucks and i think im competing with them . A lot of tx , ga , la, runs and those areas are bad. The only good thing about them they pay every monday. I get cash price at the pumps, and plus .02. Im at 1.36 all miles . I started 8/13 pullin my first load. So far...

    Total revenue..$45,686.48 Miles 33548 these are hub miles
    Total pay miles 29306
    Empty miles 2796

    Should i stay put, im still within my expenses to run truck. I have about 12k saved. I dont need any input from the heavy haulers or flat bedders, we know that yall haul for 4.00. lol

    I have a few reefers and dryvans mingled in with the flatbeds and heavy haul equipment.

    You are likely competing with the company trucks on the lower $ loads and they are not offering you any of the Higher $ company stuff.

    Right now my average for dryvan is $1.75 / mile the lower rates being in the areas you noted..
