What Is Considered Cheap Freight ?

Looks like you're a long way from home

 

I'm here until May. Just have to make the best of it until then.
Days like the last two, just keep telling myself I'm a day closer, day closer. Albeit they are long ones.

 

Just saw an RGN "partial" (36k) going over 2k miles for......... 0.89/mi.
Good to start the day off with a laugh!

 

Ok here is classic example.

I'm in No Freight Town, USA.
D/H 60 miles to take a load about 160 miles that will get me to my load Goin to CA ( where my company will have trouble getting good freight, I've no doubt ). This will pay me $320.
OR
I could have just D/H about 160.
I'm taking the $320.

Let he who would not take the $320 cast the first stone.

 

Dave that's still two bucks a mile. Assuming that's too the truck, and not gross carrier pay. It's not the worst. only thing that makes it cheap is its two bucks on very short miles. But it's still far above the buck a mile crowd.

 

You'll spend what about $50 in fuel if that? I'd take that in my world only if it's strap and go and I talk to the agent or one of the other mercer guys on here. But let me ask you this. Would you take that if it was $160 to the truck on 160 miles???

 

No

 

That's to me. It actually Googled at 190 miles. Fast load, no muss, no fuss, 20 miles from drop, now I hope this doesn't put the whammy on the unload.
