Depends of the wagon your draggin’ I’m getting paid 2.25 a mile to leave here.Because of the crap freight rates.
They are willing to pay that much to get you to leave Georgia? Just joking.Depends of the wagon your draggin’ I’m getting paid 2.25 a mile to leave here.
Well Florida does set that bar pretty low.Coors light and in Georgia? You can't ask for much more than that.
I miss going to Georgia. I always loved it there. There is a reason Georgia is above Florida, because Georgia is above Florida!
And brokers know that they can set Georgia rates artificially low because of it.Well Florida does set that bar pretty low.
This time of the year. Yeah, that’s pretty decent. Along with all the political be slowing shot down. You’re High. With that box your probably average 1.90/mileAnd brokers know that they can set Georgia rates artificially low because of it.
(I wouldn't go bragging anywhere about $2.25/mi)
I thought he pulled a reefer?This time of the year. Yeah, that’s pretty decent. Along with all the political be slowing shot down. You’re High. With that box your probably average 1.90/mile
Wether it’s a cold box or a regular box. I bet he ain’t averaging much more than 1.90/mile this time of the year.I thought he pulled a reefer?

You can tell all the lies you want, everyone knows this time of year freight is slow.
Everybody??? Apparently, you missed the briefing.You can tell all the lies you want, everyone knows this time of year freight is slow.
You think that's bad try getting a flatbed out of Florida. Florida has good winter weather going for it and that's about all.Most times the only way out of Florida for a dry box was via Georgia.
We had a sweet pick up in Panama City Florida, at the port.
The sweet part was there was a day layover. Tallahassee was nice and the TA north of Panama City was ok.
Literally waiting for my ship to come in.
Containers out of Mexico de-stuffed in Panama City port and loaded on our trailers.
I never said it was bad. Pretty sure I used the word sweet! at least twice.You think that's bad try getting a flatbed out of Florida. Florida has good winter weather going for it and that's about all.
No one is arguing the loads aren’t there. I did the actual math. This load is paying 2.83/loaded mile and I only had a 4 mile bounce to the plant to pick it up....I am saying, and everyone except iornpony agrees that you don’t typically see rates paying that well leaving Florida. Most loads I pick up leaving Florida out of our common shippers in Jacksonville and Palitak(sp?) ain’t anywhere near $2/mile. And pulling a box...you ain’t gonna find anything paying much better. He just likes to argue. And who knows maybe he’s clueless and doesn’t go to Florida much.I see TMC picking up lumber and going north every day out of Port Canaveral. Friday, I counted 7 of their trucks leaving loaded. If not lumber, they get a load of bagged salt out of Morton Salt headed to the northern states. Florida has loads if you know where to look.
Down in Homestead, they load flats and single drops with bagged onions. They may not pay the greatest, but deadheading doesn't pay squat.
