There is not a large amount of
fl atbed freight to be had in many ar-
eas, but as mentioned above, parts
of Alabama offer opportunity. Loads
from Mobile, Ala., to Roanoke, Va.,
showed average rates recently well
above the national average for fl at-
bed freight. The pickings are quite
slim on the lane all the way back,
but if time allows, consider break-
ing up the return with two loads
— one to Chattanooga for a reload
back to Mobile, the last leg priced
on average last week at $2.30 per
mile, according to averages in DAT
RateView.
You bypass both Atlanta and
Charlotte, with only six extra miles of
driving, if you took that route to Roa-
noke to begin with. You'll come away
with almost $400 more in revenue in
your pocket with that second load,
with no additional driving. Examine
the details below. ◆
