    Between 2 and 3 years ROI...... I was a slackers and netted about 300 a week extra from the added trailer percentage.

    I found myself doing very few drop and hook loads. I see the main advantage of company box trailer as being D&H are more available to you. I found myself doing very few D&H so no big loss. I think Dave and the crew do a higher percentage of D&H so the time savings (less lost revenue to detention) may offset the revenue gain for them.

    Side note. Many shippers where willing to cross dock to my trailer if they were desperate enough to pay a rate of interest to me...........

    So this is the elevation my Garmin is showing at TS on highway 41 west of miami.

    I had the block both lanes in the road to get in the dock in miami today.

    I'm in rural Florida mosquitoes suck.

    Missoula is not bad as long as you come the correct way around the block. Just do a little wiggle and get the back of the trailer close. So that they do not have to walk around with a heavy mattress on the shoulder. I just have to tail gate the stuff.

    The Lakewood one you are messing with all the commute short cut for folks that work at JBLM........
