    Since this place is so dead (did anyone else survive?) I figured I'll spice the place up..

    Yeah, so in 2022 I spent roughly $50k in fuel for my hotshot business roughly 10k gallons of fuel. a bit over 80k miles.

    How much did you spend?

    Back in May I drug a Freightliner tractor down to Texas from WV, and drug a Peterbilt back. Took about $2100 round trip. Course pulling those tractors were like pulling a parachute…..

    Ahh ok, I only went to PA 1 time this year as well and none of the others. As rule I don't go past PA if into it at all and I don't go past NC on i95. For Cali, I didn't mind doing runs out to there, but after fuel went crazy I stopped. The NE, I mostly avoid due to tolls, traffic and lack of parking and I really don't like delivering into neighborhoods in the NE cities which would happen if I went up there. Also TBH is I never bought a NYHut sticker for my current truck so that was part of it as well.. lol
