The independent who took this lane was ecstatic that it was still available. He has 3 small kids and a wife that works part time -

The only people ive ever heard of regularly paying over $3 a mile and with dedicated runs are .mil/fema etc. Im thinking this is joebob who decided he's open a brokerage out of his basement based on what he read on the internet. Maybe even signed a contract for that load that he didnt have the driver for and came here terrified he was about to lose his ass to contract penalties.
