Why you'll go Bankrupt hauling around $2 a mile loads

Numbers are not fantasy land.

I can prove very easily these are realistic numbers.

Here is one from a job listing
Pay:
88% from gross

Deductions
Trailer: $250/week
Cargo/Liability $335/ week
Samsara logbooks / camera / unlimited data tablet and mounts: $25/ week
Occupational insurance: $45.00/ week
Ifta-$5/ week or optional if you have your own
PrePass/Ipass $5/ week + tolls or optional if you want to not use them.

total deductions: $655 + $10 in optional items

HIRING OWNER OPS Gross $7,000-$9,000 per week weekend at home!! -...

Those are carrier deductions, then you have truck insurance and then truck payment if you don't own one already.

Throw one out there
Truck rental starting at $3250

I have just demonstrated real world evidence of potential costs.

People showing up here with paid off trucks and other talking about being fleased on with Stevens transport saying they had less costs.
Well obviously those people will have less fixed costs because it's a different operation.
Example given in this thread is someone without owning a truck leased onto a higher paying percentage carrier which in general will carry higher weekly costs than other carriers with lower percentage or $1 a mile Stevens.

No situation is exactly the same.

 

Your total costs of running your business is just insurance and its only $200 a month. That's funny right there

 

What does Commercial Truck Insurance Cost?

zero other costs?

 

It was quick way to find a job postings to demonstrate these jobs exist being I was called out for being in fantasy land.

The "real world costs" people have been posting are those with paid off trucks, lower percentage pay carriers etc and using that to prove a point which is ridiculous.
Those carriers that cover more items will take more percentage.
You pay one way or another.
