That is the funniest statement I have ever read...... :lol: :lol: :lol:

For the audience at home :

This how charged gets freight

Broker: Widget Freight Brokers this Jim how may I help you

charged : I'm calling on load # 123, What are you payin' ??

Broker : $ 1.65 a mile with tarps. Its an all in rate.

charged : I'll take it !!!

Here is how it should have gone : ( The BigDiesel way )

charged : I'm calling on load #123, What can you tell me about it

broker : It is 40k of widgets that needs tarping and it is paying 1.65 a mile.

charged : I would be happy to take that run for 2.00 a mile plus tarp fee.

broker : We can't do that for that money.

charged : Ok, thank you for time have a nice day.

Which way is better ??

Hauling Asphalt in the winter?? in the midwest?? dude all due respect arent you still in high school?? correct me if my wrong but don't road construction and quarry hauling slow down in the winter?

I'm in a co-op/work study program only seniors can take it and I'm a senior and I have half days so I can do it. I doubt I can do the asphalt I originally applied for a position in the shop and found out about this gig. Yeah it slows down in the winter but we had nothing but rain and flooding this summer so the asphalt is picking up and from what the company told me it's suppose to continue into October.

Oh ok, not sure if the plants will run that long down here who knows, but it is starting to get cold here in Illinois.

How much freight is in the area? Is the freight going the way you need it to to get home for the weekend? If there is nothing coming out and $1.65 is the best you can get why not take it?

If you can't say the name then I'll just have to assume they don't exist. :lol:

:shock:

That's right. Dad is going home this weekend making $1.47/mi. I posted it a few posts back, maybe you didn't catch it. Nothing wrong with that, IMO, as long as your average works out.
