    What are the best areas for freight?

    Steve, you’ve a lot more experience than I in these matters but my thinking is no matter what system you’re working getting your name out there more than the next guy will be beneficial down the road?

    IRP Fees

    Last year was the first time I registered a commerical truck so they used a formula for each state. Like you said when I did it for this year they used my individual mileage for each state driven then formula for ones I didn't travel through. They all want a piece of the pie.

    I also run solo with a 22’ dry box minus 30” for storing my 1982 Yamaha XT550 (gotta have fun), liftgate and tag axle. Like you I’m paying fuel, tolls and insurance. Deadhead pay is negotiated prior to accepting or rejecting run. The lowest rate I’ve seen in 13 months is $1.40 which...
