    Weight distribution ?

    Also you can mark the inside walls of box for center of duals or single axle. We used a orange spray can. One skid center on orange line. 4 skids 2 in front and 2 behind. A lot of times we just told loader to center on line.

    So how much does that load pay?

    I think Dave hit the nail on the head. No matter how the company pays at the end of the year they work out to about the same per mile. Otherwise everyone would work for one company. While doing your taxes you can look at the variable expenses and see exactly where you can make more.

    Switching COMPANIES bad rates

    Human nature Grass is always greener.... Good points. Too many don't look at the big picture. Also I think some actullay jump instead of checking sources so then it's not their fault. How many times do you hear it's the companies fault? Time to take responsibility.

    What are the things you do to increase your chance of getting a load offer?

    Start with best vehicle: Max length, width, height, and weight. Add hazmat if able. If signed on w/company learn their areas and keep updated. Ask others with that company. Keep an open mind. East of the Mississippi and near main highways. Break out a atlas if needed and locate near large cities.
