    Ok my week so far LS. DH 50 miles. For Monday to Tuesday I got 4350 on 840 miles hazmat. 23k pounds. (Thursday to Friday I did 3 k on 450 miles). I sat the weekend on a 120 day inspection need.

    This is on the next pay cycle DH 145 miles. 6200 on 1140 miles, not including DH. 22k pounds, hazmat. This weekend load. Picked up today. 2500 on 370 miles two drops Monday, DH 85 miles There are a lot of loose packages on the trailer..... Hand unload. Still Tuesday till Thursday morning, to make money. Assuming Monday is shot

    These were the best loads I could get. There was like 2 of them in a market, not 10. Plus it's LS so I'll get 65% plus fsc. So probably 69%.


    Pre covid I would have got my numbers if I knew how to price freight.

    Not in public. Only after midnights on Thursdays and Sundays. It’s a way to supplement my income. Don’t judge me :biggrin_25523:

    @D.Tibbitt I don't know long rates will be good. High inflation. Is a head wind. When the chips come in trucks will start being delivered. The rates will decay. I think. 6 months then it will soften.
