    I can tell you why rates are so low. Its not fuel.

    Yes I think they will end up paying for that one. Makes no sense unless that's their solution to not having their freight brokered 5 or 6 times showing up on a mid 90s penske...it won't make me buy newer they can't pay enough for that, even at over 1.15 a mile... Edit: sounds like a kooky scam...

    2005 Sprinter second and reverse only

    So I made about 1100 working with the other van this week, while someone else was doing the fixing, softens the blow a bit. I'd like to get an identical van to switch out so no downtime, don't think I'd get away with it in an accident After I said I'd fix the blower they called back and said...

    Would you take Higher Rate and less Miles or More Miles and Lower Rate?

    2005 Sprinter second and reverse only
