It’s actually Ohio

8.2 ever since the APU install.

Midwest is overall best region IMO. Followed closely by Texas. Best city is Los Angelos though.

Yes Los Angeles but you’re going to end up somewhere that the backhaul for full truckload pays under $1 per mile so your $2 per mile average will be $1.50 and if you include deadhead your less than $1.50

I’m doing an OTR flatbed at the Landstar. It’s bad as everywhere.

No. You get 65% of the linehaul. I have negotiated $3,000 loads down to $1,000 linehaul and $2,000 accesorial. Landstar got $350 and I got $2,650 for a little over 88% of the load. This usually happens during December when drivers take off for the holidays or an Angecy is shy of missing their quota with the customer. There is an agency right now paying a extra $300 in accesorial to get drivers to run a 500 mile lane because nobody wants to run heavy through the mountains.

..........You're* Lol jkjk. Thank you!

@@truckingthesevenseas , spell check got me

Ya I am getting more acquainted with the job... Its fairly straightforward now.

Time is money friend!

That just means it can be picked up and delivered whenever.

Welcome to trucking😂

Yes landstar trailers. You actually can't have a trailer. You must run their trailers if you want to do DH. You drop an empty Landstar trailer and pick the loaded.

Those loads are designed more for getting your weekly rate per mile up. You do one of these loads to offset the $2.20 load that you did earlier in the week.

Central VA, as in where?

@@nattydreadlocks1973 richmond va and surrounding area

@scottchristiana3449 Nothing to get excited about. It's an area of consumption, not manufacturing.

@@nattydreadlocks1973 damn, I was hoping there'd be something around here or maybe the beach with the ports

@scottchristiana3449 You can definitely piece together a 5 day $5,000 gross week. They have an agent moving preloaded, lightwieght, multiple stop, cabinet loads out of Culipeper. The numbers aren't eye-poping, but you can definitely make it work.

Yes before landstars cut. I can probably do Minneapolis next. I'm getting quite a few requests though.

The phone is super easy. I may start pumping a lot of these out.

@@truckingthesevenseas dooo itt

I'll try to throw in a look at the team loads on the next one. There are very few from what I've seen though.

Ya that's the hard part. It isn't totally absurd to deadhead back considering the rate I would get.

Landstar has so many direct shippers that a backhaul to the Chicagoland area is like shooting fish in a barrel.

I am hauling a Landstar trailer. I do not own my own. If you do Drop and hooks you must have a Landstar trailer. You cannot use your own.

@truckingthesevenseas seems like pretty good pay if you can do 2 of those loads per day, maybe a little longer distance or pick up a thrid and hold it over night. We try to make $1,000 a day with our truck if you can snag 2 200 mile loads each paying $3 a mile you'd hit that

This is exactly what I'm thinking... I may try this when I get back from Cali.

I'll see what I can do... I'm getting a lot of requests.

Florida to anywhere is hot GARBAGE! Deadhead to Savahanna, and you got a 50/50 shot at doing okay. Atlanta is a consumer city. They don't make anything, so they don't ship anything. Just like Florida, you make your money going into Georgia and try not to lose it all getting out.

Is that net or gross?

I run under landerstar and I have my own trailer. Best thing to do is get in with broker. A lot of the good paying freight doesn’t hit the load board. I did round trip from Columbus oh to Orlando fl for 8400 last week. And another before that down to ft Myers’s for 7600. Still money to be made out there
