My experience in GA, NC, SC.

One of my carriers is based in Florida, we were lucky and got a dedicated lane FL - NC (paying decently). He prefers to run short loads, beginning his week every Tuesday and going back home on Saturdays: 4 short loads a week.

Once in NC, i just move him in these 3 states mostly, and then go back to Florida. As i see it, this is a good area, you can get $2/mile, even more, just running short loads, but you need time to get loads with those rates and paying more than 1000 usd. This would be a good strategy if the carrier doesn't want to run long distances. I ve seen prices here going anywhere from 700 to 1200 usd per load. Therefore, with 5 loads a week, your driver will make 3500 - 6000, which is acceptable, in my humble opinion.

I hope you find this post useful and interesting, if your experience has been different, please share it!

Thank you.
