The real cost of trucking, from all the owner/ops seat

Yeah & i’ll do it - again - without hesitation .

Chicagoland doesn't deserve any USDOT/MC Numbers

You all think i’m playing or joking about raising hell over there. Think again, i’ll crack that company owner in their face, even if they are in Lithuania. Idgaf.

 

It was the right trucks in the lot sitting there for resale with 500k miles and probably no warrenties blown out. I wouldn’t mess with a drivers truck. However, Fake carriers and carriers that steal from drivers or carriers telling drivers go die.. They told that to Multiple drivers in a 15 week period go die… cut fuel cards leaving them stranded thousands of miles from home.. Said figure out a way home… there's people out here driving trucks and it's all they have really.. These people are fathers, mothers, etc... Drivers blindly are not to be disrespected like that.. it's already an uncomfortable job/career (why many don't do it) on top of the hardships of not seeing family and everything else… they tell a driver go die… hell nah. So f them Chicagoland foreigners, they deserve nothing.

and if you’re wondering why $5 million? I priced it all out. Chicagolands 5-10% profit margin for the year on 200trucks “if fully active” all year say $100 million revenue. So the walk away for the carrier would be $5,000,000? Nope, not more shop rates crazy expensive $195/hr 30 trucks to diagnose and labor repair aside from part replacement lol.

 

No offense but all I see is assumption there in response

Because your making assumptions on what I originally stated was just simple strategy math of a basic set up for the time being

I have a mac in the truck.

No where does it say I have 5 trucks or 5 drivers right now.. Let's go

the math comes from building a multi unit authority one day… basic supply & demand, a driver, with just one truck owner/op has no push or pull really when bidding with another carrier on the same load bidding with fleet of 10 trucks or five trucks, the brokers gonna go with the carrier who has more units. By pass the solo owner-op

Sure if drivers want to be a w2 company driver.. I’ll get benefits also.. Wanna own a truck great there's the correct way to legally buy a truck… wanna join 1099 fleet at the company, sure there's the USDOT/MC number, do you need load boards, routes/lanes, dispatching or go solo just need authority? Want your own authority great heres correct way to do that. All that without the BS of sleazy middleman, corny extra steps. Driver silver platter options? You gonna be a driver or be a quitter and in 7 months be a uber rideshare driver or use your CDL elsewhere.

 

Funny gov’t gave me a trademark patent for my name. Anyway keep yappin female run circles around you and your kin

 

Driver should do it at every pre-trip & post trip if they even do a post trip… 99.999999% doesn't nor do they pre-trip.
