who's running the freight

I can only afford to run TSA & HAZ loads the rest of the loads I would be running for pennies. Only good thing I have to change my oil less. My inspection may run out before my fuel runs out. Still on % but flat rate would be less.

I feel your pain. I just sold my truck so I'm out. Wife wants me to get another truck but I don't see any money in this anymore.

We have done 13000 paid miles in 21 days. Plus five paid dry runs. We hit our goal.

I could be running my wheels off, IF I wanted to only run heavily discounted and sub par paying loads. Rates just continue to fall.

Hitting our minimum goals and a few weeks we go over. TVAL and cross border runs have been our savior. Still seeing good rates in those areas. Have not seen a West Coast run in a long time.

Just turned down a TVAL load, $1.14 per.

New to tval. Kinda suprised in the low rates. So far we've made pretty good money but it's been cross border and haz as well. Everything normal tval has been less than my surface team is making.

On the plus side, the new truck is a cascadia and wow! It drives soooo much smoother than my KW does.

And we haven't run a normal tval load yet, we have bid on a few but none have come through.

Yeah, but you're TVal now.
The prestige. The envious looks from the surface guys.
Getting the better table at the truckstops.
All that, and you want extra money, too ?

Tval is good money. Surface was 2.

I can honestly say from my own experience that TVAL shippers / receivers are by far more organized and pleasant than SE.

Same here, new to TVAL, noticed that they like to keep us on shorter regional runs. Congrats on the new ride. Still enjoying ours.

We have been in TVAL for 7 years, temp control for 9, these are the LOWEST we have seen rates since we have been in business. I am SO glad right now that we have not bought a new truck.
