Very confusing !!!!! Are the loading in Manitowoc going to Iowa or loading in Olathe Ks. going to Eagle Pass ????

[Walking Eagle]

If you are really trying to get into these types of loads nobody just trains you, you work up to them. I started with a regular spread axle flat and over the years, about 40, have a 3+3+3 trailer.You need to find a co. that will start you in Heavy Haul then work up, either Lone Star or Anderson.

[Walking Eagle]

Oh, BTW, that is a pretty shit1ey rate on them. Probably should be around $25 to Iowa and $30 if they went to Tx.

No one starts out with heavy haul or over sized freight. You have to work your way up. Most of us started out with flats then moved up from there. I do over sized loads but won't allow a new driver to do over sized without knowing how they drive and do their job. Most carriers are that way. If this is something you want to get into expect it to take several years. You first need to learn about securement. You can learn that from pulling flats. You can then move up to steps or perhaps double drop or RGN freight. As your experience grows your axles can increase. It is much different pulling 5 axles and 13. There are some carriers who will train you as your experience grows. I know ATS (Anderson) will start new drivers with a flat or step deck and move them up as they become more experienced. I believe Daily will do the same thing. I am not sure that Lone Star will train you but they do a wide variety of over sized freight. You first need to learn how to pull a flat or step deck.

Remember you need a $375,000 trailer and a truck capable of pulling it, you have $20,000 worth of tires on the ground and will get about 1.5 to 2 miles per gallon. It is a Sh..... rate.

I pulled blades all summer out of Houston and Grand Prarie up to NW Indiana and averaged $16-$19 depending on if it was over a weekend or not, but the loads only weighed 48K lbs and I pulled the manufacturers trailer.

[allan5oh]

Are they not two seperate loads?

The first one goes 394 "mapquest miles" but probably 600-700 actual, looking at the map.

15k / 600 miles = $25 per mile

We just put a bid in on a 50 mile haul. $19,000.00. That equals $380 a mile.
