Yeah, that's true... but you also don't have any type of tracking, so I just show 659 miles at the end of every 11hrs. They have no idea where I was at anyways between Chicago and Corpus Christi since I only fuel in Chicago and then again in Corpus and I pay cash for all my meals and such.

What area did you work Fredog, I'm guessing Georgia??? I have spoken to guys in GA, AL, FL, TX, LA and AR and all have a tough time making making money. It is the complete opposite where in Chicago area. We have so much freight that we have given some of it to Superior and Lakeland. I do know the loads coming out of Chicago going to TX pay more than the TX to Chicago and also you do have to be careful what terminal you are with. My manager has had 6 guys who live in TX and FL try to come on over to him cuz the pay for the same loads is MORE thru my terminal than their guys can get it for???? Guess it just has to do with location.

My run pays me close to $5.00 per mile loaded and I come back empty so i avg about $2.45-$2.50 for all my miles, plus they pay me .50cpm to bobtail 180 miles home after every run, and then 180miles again back to pu my next load.

I guess it's just the luck of the draw. I managed to come in at the right time and get what I did

 

yep, I live in Georgia and worked out of Chattanooga, there was plenty of freight and miles, they just screwed me out of my money and they DO have tracking, Sue from Tampa called me in when she was in Chattanooga and pulled out my log sheets and the satellite records from the skybits they have on every trailer and they didnt come close to matching (they said they would never use this to track you, only to keep track of the tanks, another one of their many lies ) they also have gps tracking on the blackberrys... she said if it happened again, I would be suspended, I told her if that happened, they would never see me again, she said I could have another chance, she never threatened suspension again, but every month she had some nit picky complaint about my logs

 

I don't have their blackberry and I run leased dry-bulk trailers that don't have skibits........ guess I just keep getting luckier LOL

 

yes sir, sounds like you are one of the lucky few, they kept promising to get me on dedicated freon, but it never happened
