Hauling a 3200 mile load for 53% of the revenue, plus going 200 miles out of route. Priceless.

Rev. your wrong, with his trailer he would had recieved $2.37 a mile, probably more with the FSC at 100% to the truck.

But remember he got 100% and got to pay his own cargo and liabilty, and has his name on the door.

You're right - I was factoring it at 65%, not the 73% that flatbed drivers get.

:shock: :shock: Uuuuuuh........Guy's.......Celeb asked about load boards that have better freight than does Getloaded.com :? :? Didn't really see where they asked for ya's all to get in a wizzing match. :lol: :lol:

On a personal note...I would have let that cheap load sit and kept on dh'ing to Minneapolis....would have used less fuel and time.

or I wouldn't bring up the fact that I did haul it...if I had hauled it!

That would be a Steve Booth tactic.

There's also something to be said for doing a load for that low rate if you are working with just a few LS brokers as Rev stated he is...you're doing a favor to start a good relationship with them..maybe you got them out of a bind by doing that. Hopefully that pays off downstream.

Ya right. History repeats itself you know. Heck, I didn't even need a calculator to figure out you actually paid them to haul the load!!!

ROTFLMAO

This is fun being like Rev.

You wouldn't know how to use it if you had one. If you did, you would know how bad you got screwed on that Canada run. :lol:

I bet that broker was laughing at you. All the way to the bank.
