Well I got that part. Too many vans not enough loads. Just not sure if it's just me that's feeling it across my pockets or is anyone else having the same experience. Thanks for the reply.
It could be the companies that you are running for and this time of year tends to be slower. You should start to see things pick back up in the middle of March till the end of the year. January and February were the slowest for smaller companies and owner operators. You should be getting at least 350-450 for 300 miles with a cargo van. If you ever need any help, reach out to me via message. I have some connects in the industry.
Where are you guys contracting at? I've been out about a year and a half, was working with big carriers.....I haven't seen rates as such for years.
You'll make way more money with a good (smaller) carrier. They tend to be more lenient when it comes to how many hours you've driven and if you're a good driver, they tend to reward you with great loads. I have been in the business for many years and the rates you're mentioning seem to be quite low. DM me if you need any more assistance.
Bolt express said .85 to .95 yesterday on the phone is currently the average pay per mile.

That was the going rate back in 2008 when I drove for them.
