So you want to hot-shot? (Will be updated/edited frequently)

Looks like 2 smaller trailers, just the right size for the task.

 

Yeah, that stage trailer was definitely heavier then they said. . It felt like it had a heavy coil rolling forward and back when you’d hit the brake or take off. It only went 55 miles, $650.00. I’m supposed to bid a longer run this morning, a 40’ fifth wheel rv going from San Bernardino, Ca area to Redding, Ca.

 

Just had my best week all from central dispatch running PA-LA-NJ. 2 units south and 3 back north. 2950 miles from parking spot to parking spot. Left monday morning and got home friday afternoon. $7700 before tips. $2.61 per all miles.
Should have been 8700-9000 but I couldn't close on a third unit before I left. There were a few options but lazy brokers wouldn't get back to me in time .

 

I think we are all seeing a little rise in rates and it’s a fair move, diesel and maintenance costs have gone up.

 

Nice week for sure.

 

I'm on course to break that record this week.
I'll post it here if it works out.

 

It's a pretty tried-and-true business model in the trucking world, although it might be going away at some point if congress has it's way. Not everyone can afford the insurance on a new venture right off the bat, if they can even get it. Also a carrier will usually cut a settlement check every week for turned-in delivery paperwork where as typical brokers pay invoices net 30 right? It's again a money/cash-flow issue. (Possibly factoring companies can be of assistance there to independent guys)

 

How come this one is missing all the deck boards near the back?
