1,991 dry van loads. $3.3 million booked. Forty-eight trucks.
We're not going to pretend the last three years were good for dry van. Here's our own book — dry van rates fell for three straight years, and ours fell with them, because we don't lie to carriers about what the market is doing.
A company that publishes its own down years is a company you can believe about the up ones.
In reefer, one great load can carry a bad week. In dry van it can't — the rates are thinner, so the only thing separating a profitable van from an unprofitable one is how often it runs empty. So we don't book loads. We book turns.
Almost every truck that goes out comes back loaded. That's the entire dry van business. State pairs shown; specific cities, carriers, and brokers withheld.
We look at the return before we take the outbound. A $2,400 load into a dead market loses to a $1,800 load into a live one, every time.
We price the empty miles into every decision. Most dispatchers price the load. We price the trip.
We've booked nearly 600 loads with one broker alone. We know who pays in 21 days and who tells you 30 and means 50.
The unglamorous, repeatable, correctly-priced regional turn beats the lottery ticket. Consistency is the product.
Reefer & dry van dispatch for owner-operators and small fleets. We don't find loads — we defend margins.
