Murray, Murray, Murray ya know I love ya and all....but posting stuff like this is, really?...I could move too at a lesser rate....are they moving for the sake of moving, just to keep the rust off the rotors or are they actually making $$$ or they just barely squeeking by...??? .85 -.90 on a continuous basis is NOT making money....I am sorry it is just not....in 5 yrs from now the operator will have a washed out van and no resources to replace it.... at .85 thee is no capital left for a replacement....there just ain't....

You'd have to ask them if their math works. But I'm sure plenty of people feel the same way you do.

Running like I do I very rarely run for my contracted rate. For the simple fact I'd be broke by now.


In the slow lane to nowhere!

It's amazing how many will say "at least I'm moving", as if that's all that matters.

I'm home again, still trying to get transmission electronics sorted out. It's gonna be a beautiful weekend to ride!

and YOU were the miles king over there....LOL

That's the way it works right.. Miles, it's all about the miles. What's the first question you are axed. "how many miles a week you gitting?"

My last load paid close to 400 bucks more then I would've gotten over there. The miles were only 280... That's strong. **** the miles, full steam ahead.

Hi all been reading all this board has to offer. I have been driving a cargo van for a few weeks for a fleet owner leased to XPO (formerly known as Express-1). I have been down for about a week now due to "Bambi" committing suicide by expedited van. Fleet owner was on vacation but is now getting things taken care of. Just hoping to get back out there soon.

Prior to going to expedited in CV I have 12 yrs of tractor trailer (van, flatbed, reefer, dump) and regular dump truck exp. Just saying hi and maybe I'll make it to Expo since i live in Dayton, OH.

Yet, strangely enough our guys say they are making somewhere between more and a lot more per "all miles" than when they were at tier prior carriers.
Getting $1.20 per mile is great until you only run 700 miles a week.

Seems you tune has changed quite a but in the last couple of months. Sounds like someone replaced the coffee maker upstairs with a Kool Aid dispenser. LOL!!

Everybody must remember that this is JULY folks and freight volumes are way down like in Jan. This just the way it is.
Now as towards the miles per week thingy, I don't worry about how many miles I run since my carrier pays me % of load. I look to a certain $ figure each week. Some weeks and some weeks less. That's what works for me. Oh ya "work smarter not harder."
