    Think that's bad, look at lowboy rates in Tx. and surrounding states

    Blame it on that broker who told the other board member last week everyone was wanting to go to Tx...

    Yea, for craps and giggles look on internet truckstop and peg in rgn and dd... Don't bee drinking anything when you see the rates. Oh and these are all in, meaning out of that figure we have to buy permits

    I don't run much texas, and I'm new to over the road (little over a year) but I track every mile and every load since starting. July was .12 cents a mile down from June and deadhead went from %14 up to %24 to keep the loss to .12 cents. I do about %70 load board freight This year. The good news is our direct coustemer is finaly coming to life 3 months later than normal. I run midwest mostly.

    I look at RGN loads all the time to see if there is something paying decent that could go on my trailer.

    Then I see stuff like 11'1 tall.. rgn/low boy, 18k lbs.. $1.66 mi. Who pulls rgn and can do that?
