Most of my hauls with my flatbed are long ones in excess of 2,000 miles and I've been getting around $1.50. After the long ones I get some short ones usually and get $2.00 to $2.50. I did get one long one for the Navy for $2.50 so my average seems to be around $1.75.
yeah thats the thing.. i like the pay per mile when going on short runs. but the total pay aint much. when i run long like to g.r. mi. i get 1.25-1.50 a mile. of course i get paid by the weight that is what it comes to by the mile if ya do the calculations. the best loads i had was a 6 month long run of laod going to the docks in mobile al. 340 miles one way paying 1,000 to the truck.
