How do you know that? If you know it, you should know a little more exactly than a $.50+/mile range. What are you pulling? Is this contracted freight? If it's not, nobody is getting those rates for those lanes on the spot market right now for van/reefer/flat. If it's contracted freight and you've done this run before, just ask. The only part of contract rates that change is the FSC. You're paid on percentage, you have the right to see the freight bill. If you feel that strongly that you're getting stiffed, make the request.
For reefer on the spot market right now, I'd expect your company to average maybe $1.70/mile on that turn. That puts you at what...$1.21? Van slightly less; flat, not as sure about but not too far off.
