Chef,

What size truck are you referring to?? CV/Sprinters only...or all sizes?

Sometimes (often) no, they don't ....... and sometimes yes - they do pay reasonably well :rolleyes: ......

All depends on how bad they need the load moved, how many trucks are available in the area (and out of that, who is willing), and who (if anyone :rolleyes:) in Dispatch/Load Planning is paying attention to bid boards when things come up ......

It might be a wise thing to avoid engaging in too much "group think" and/or "group agreement" about "the way things are" .... as such things can become sort of a self-fulfilling (and self-defeating) prophecy ....

If you open the attached image (in a separate window, to avoid the "we're-gonna-make-it-the-size-we-think-it-outta-be-EO-goofiness") you'll see an NLM load that paid over $3.57 per loaded mile, and over $2.00 all miles.

It was a cargo van load - single pallet, about 1000 lbs IIRC.

Oh wait...solos can't go that far with E-1...guess that is why they didn't get it....

It is a CV load that pays just over a buck for loaded miles too...

Oh wait...whats that you say? It is an NLM and they can only afford to pay what? .81 cents? *LOL*

I've been running my butt off this week. Monday I went to the grocery store, yesterday to the Post Office and to Fed Ex Office to get another set of vehicle signs for a new driver, and this evening I may go to church.

Yea CV's/Sprinter's....BUT I also can tell you the Straights at bolts aren't getting all that much more on ALOT NLM loads either...there is a nice lady that drives a Straight Truck that post on here that went there and left that will back that up.....
