What double drop work actually looks like

Double-drop and lowboy moves are project freight: machinery and equipment on planned, often permitted routes. Miles per week are secondary: postings sell the work by load type and schedule predictability, not mileage.

The methodology behind the benchmark

The benchmark reflects what carriers are advertising right now: each active posting contributes the midpoint of its offered weekly-mile range, its dedicated-route flag, and its stated home time. These are posted offers, not delivered outcomes. Percentiles are computed by nearest rank, and no slice below 30 postings is published. Read the full methodology. Updated September 2026.
