I don't think you would have time for a return load. :?: i beginning to think that i should only bid on two trips a week.

You already know what you are up against with 3 rounds per week. You will have a hard time at your posted price because you will be coming back empty part of the time, lack of freight at this time of the year. Shipping rate for a dry van go north is between 1.85-2.35 a mile, that's what shippers are paying, if you know how to get it.
However south bound out of Oregon is around the 1.30 range if you can find a load with out going to WA. Good Luck

You're bidding on a lane using someones trailer- therefore, you are an o/o leased?
Using the trailer is a fair deal, but what % do they want? I'd say $1.55 plus $200 for the additional stop. We're not out here to break even, well, some of us aren't :wink:
