    True. Referencing your answer to my question though it is in my best interest to wait till I get to La Vergne Tn to get fuel instead of getting it in Walton Ky per the macro 27.

    Looks like it'll be a nickel-or-so a gallon cheaper at La Vergne tonight- base price. That's what you're paying for just the fuel, less the tax. Just make sure you don't run out! I'll buy enough to get a shower somewhere if I have to... I usually compute my fuel always leaving 30 gallons in reserve. That's for just in case!

    After my accident in March, I am finally in the positive. I took on a team driver for a couple months to pick up revenue and am now personally doing very well for myself with a lease. Almost four grand net this week. Great for rebuilding my savings that was depleted. :)

    Not quite $4k. $3780. 5397 dispatched miles on just shy of $9k revenue. That's not including any taxes, but I have no liability this quarter, either. Saving $1500 of it though.

    That's also not typical, it's pretty above average. Most weeks are about half that.

    I fill up with cheap fuel and buy expensive only when I need to get to cheap fuel

    You dug up an old thread, rates vary length, direction, lanes, contracts, etc. Literally can go from 90 cents to 4 bucks a mile...or more.
