Haha. How could you tell? Actually things have been doing great since I posted this. Hurricane Sandy created some great rates. I was doing these pellet fuel loads that were only a little over 100 miles long for $1,000 a piece. Grossed 5k in just a few days. Now that the storm is over and everything is almost cleaned up those rates are gone but they're not anywhere near bad as they were when I posted this. I think in a couple weeks I'll be able to get away from these loadboards anyway. A friend of mine who owns a small fleet called me saying he needs another truck to pull out of a cardboard factory. He says his guys are grossing 4-5k weekly and the shipper gives all the drivers an Ezpass and covers tolls entirely. He also says they're not spending that much on fuel either being that all the places theyre pulling to are typically low traffic and don't have many hills. Home every night too. Does that sound like a good set up to you guys? I look at it like this. On one hand, if I was doing loads out of this place since the beginning, I would have made WAY more money by now. On the other hand, in the future there will be weeks here and there when I would have made more money just doing my own thing and going on the loadboards and such. But I think in the long run I'll probably make out much better and I'll have a lot less stress without having to worry about the rates of various lanes and not knowing how much money ill make week to week.Originally Posted by solo379
