As of the current DAT National Van Rate cycle, the best-paying dry-van lanes are Southeast → Northeast (Atlanta → NJ/PA), Texas → West Coast (Laredo → LA), and Midwest → Southeast (Chicago → FL). We chase those and avoid known low-rate backhauls out of FL and CA.
We pre-negotiate a detention rate (typically $75/hr after 2 free hours) into the rate confirmation, timestamp arrival and departure with your ELD or in-app check-ins, and file the detention claim within 24 hours of delivery — the window most brokers require.
