1971.02 we get 65% of this then add 296.19 fuel for 1097 miles see what you come up with Rank. $1281.15 + $296.19 = $1577.34 / 1097 miles = $1.44 so I agree with you and Gman. But at $.50/DH mile, they're just covering fuel. If you had to bounce 100 miles empty to reload your rate for all miles on the same load has now dropped from $1.44 to $1.36. So your original number could easily be correct. Also depends on how they're calculating miles. I don't know about Diamond, but dispatched mileage can often be 10% low. 1097 HHG miles in reality could be 1200 measured on the odometer or the hub. $1577.34 / 1200 = $1.31/loaded hub mile. They probably use practical truck miles but ya still gotta watch 'em! Sounds like you're doing good though. I know what you mean by miles being off. They have been pretty close so far. I keep track of actual miles and compare to the ones we are paid on. I think the 1.37 was right but if you factor in the difference between CRST malone and having to pay for the trailer and all I think we still will be better off here at diamond. Hopefully in a year or so we will be on our own anyway. tootie

The interstate East bound is closed i think.
Going in to wash clothes then later we will walk over to Perkins to eat. tootie

I'm in GMAN country right now with the windows down and the A/C on!!!! Ha!
In your face! My A/C is cooling the country behind me so keep your heat on. I plan to use up all the heat in Texas also so don't get your hopes up. I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too..... P.S. Next time you watch the Wizard of Oz when the guards are walking into the castle chanting you may think they are saying something like "yole ole, yooo oh"....listen carefully. They are saying "Oh we love, the old one" Old one is another word for witch.
