With a hopper bottom, most definitely. Most of the stuff I hauled was at least 26 tons.

Wow, the rates have shot up since I was running a hopper bottom.
Quote:
Most loads pay 100 to 125
Hazmat (lime etc) 135 and up
Canada (135 and up)
Depends on backhaul and deadhead which is free as u know but looks like a driver could net
$ 1000 to 1200 weekly (peak)
$800 to 900 slow time
What say u ?

It really all depends on how busy they can keep you during the slow times. When I was doing that stuff, it was mostly regional. I had weeks where I ran 7-8 loads, and I had weeks where I ran 2-3 loads. When it's busy, it's very busy. When it's slow, it's very slow.
Generally, most of the waiting is in loading. There were places that I loaded at where I was guaranteed to have to sit for 12 hours or more waiting on a load.
