Rates are crashing and fuel to the moon!

4000 dollars with 3300 miles!!! Wooo weee

 

Wow.....just f'n wow

 

But he delivered some loads same day even with truck issues!!! I took notes.

 

Maybe he said 2300 miles. Either

you should ask Dave about this

 

Ya know. I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but if your dead head miles are equal to your paid miles, you'd better be getting $5 a mile at least.
But, the guy has a positive attitude and I'm sure he'll learn along the way........maybe

 

That’s how you become successful. It’s all about the same day delivery

 

I think the positive attitude bothers me more than anything. He thinks he’s setting the world on fire and doesn’t realize his ship is sinking

 

Well, the most telling thing to me is that it took him 2+ weeks to get his ### headed down the road.
"Hey man. I'm a big shot owner operator. I says when it goes and when it don't."

Sure you do, hoss. Sure you do.
Good luck.

 

When are you getting a new trailer?

Cost of ownership — A new report by the American Transportation Research Institute says that cost to operate a truck has soared to the highest level on record: $2.25 per mile. That’s a 21% jump from 2021! The report attributes those rising costs to double-digit increases in fuel prices, purchase/lease payments, driver wages and repairs. Meanwhile, the national truckload spot rate is $2.22.
