Some numbers for new O/O

Agreed. That's how I measure a load. X $$ after immediate expense over y time, including$ and time to bounce to the next load.

 

I think your nuts. I'll bounce back to Ohio and get a load going to the same general destination paying practically the same gross $.

 

Just giving an example. I am delighted to be offered anything that bad from Miami FL

 

Provided these are quickies. Pa to Oh pay no more than 600 - 700 Same OH to Il.

 

Again. Your nuts. The same philosophy applies. Miami to Ohio might only be 1500. Bounce north to savannah or Columbia and get the same 1500.

I understand what you are trying to say about bad lanes only passing cheap rates, but in my experience I can always equal the same gross $ by bouncing towards the destination and grabbing a load ounce im out of the bad market.

 

Dry van is 99 % garbage rates no matter where you are. I own a dry van, it's parked right next to my reefer and used for the same thing. Storing junk I don't want to throw away.
I've been telling you fir years that if you get away from that dry van you will find it's a LOT easier to get a good rate.

 

Well We are talking dry van game. We are lumberjacks not fishermen.

 

So bounce a little further and find a better paying load, I've passed 1.60 loads because they're just not worth the time.
