If the truck has a 4 or 5 or $6/mile load on the books scheduled to load in a week or so, that $1.50/mile rate pays fuel and driver and leaves a bit left over.
One thing guaranteed....... a truck sitting costs money.... one rolling is at least generating cash flow.
Double drop loads are not right around the corner like possibly a dry van load or reefer load might be and not all flat bed loads can go on a double drop either.
