O/O finding loads to haul???

I just looked at one online loadboard and am seeing some loads from Miami to Ill/Wis in the $3500 range, but they have 8-10 drops. You might be able to get $4000 if you express interest, then wait them out.

Depending on the total miles to the last drop, that is likey gonna be over $2.00 a mile for a BACKHAUL.

Oh, like LTL loads to NYC, do y'all know what they pay to Miami? Some here would crap themselves if I posted it.

 

You are hard to understand, ranting all over the place.

The coil load from/to Ohio is one I have zero interest in. I dont own a flat, dont run in/in Ohio. But it must be favorable to ya, having hauled it that many times.

So you've obviously been to NYC once. With Werner.

Look driver, I dont claim to be rich, never will be. But I adressed the original poster with some thoughts that made sense. Try them if ya like. Or not.

On a flip back to Chi town outa Miami O/O A takes a 10 stopper off some landstar loadboard grossing $4,000 and takes 4 days work and two thousand in expenses. O/O B buys himself a load of watermelons and returns them to Chicago for a cool Twelve Grand Profit. Six -Times the effect of O/O A.

 

Try showing up at Jewel with 44,000 of your "persona"l load of watermelons and see if you can pedel them off. They wont even let you past the guard shack.

Try that anywhere in Chicago at anyplace that would be lookin to by 44K of melons.

Post your results here.

 

Post the results of the single p/u in Miami grossing 4Thousand Landstar load screen 10 stopper finaling in Jerico N.Y. What was the loss ? I have been there and done that several times.2007 was a record year for my personal income and 2008 looks sweat so far.This seems too hard for you and yours to understand. What is the difficult ranting all over part ? The results are right there in the grocery store.Two bucks a mile outa Miami to Chicago makes my brokers cringe.

 

Since it's getting late, I'll pre-empt whatever briliance you may or may not have forthcoming.....

Watermelons retail for roughly .46 cent per pound. Lets say you personaly paid .40 cents for 44,000 pounds and marked them up over 15% to the retail price of .46

44,000 x .06 per pound profit = $2,640. This is assuming you can even remotely pull off a 15% mark up.

Nice try with the "$12,000 profit" though.

 

Yeah $2 mile outta Miami is not the norm. It's the extreeme. But those loads are there for those who desire 10 drops on the way home. I do my 10 drops in Florida on the way down, then for a backhaul alls I really desire is a 1 pick one drop, and get to the house.

Actually as of last week, produce was approaching the $2/mile mark to Chi. 1 or 2 picks, 1 or 2 drops- $2700

Okay, it's getting late. Have fun with the thread......

 

Thanks for the laugh !!!!

 

It is kinda funny in a way, when some jerkoff wants to argue over everything and anything, goes and states something so absurdly inaccurate on a public forum. If we hadnt called BS on that "$12,000 profit", odds are some of fans might have believed it possible. You can BS the fans, but not the players.

Anyway, lets run some numbers...

Wholesale price of watermelons .40 cents x 44,000 pounds (truckload) = $17,600. (How many truckers can float 17K up front for a load?)

Okay, we take the initial investment of $17,600, coupled with fuel from Miami to Chicago, rounds out, for arguements sake, lets just say $19,000 total. Now, he needs to turn $12,000 profit. To do that, he needs to pedal off these watermelons and get $31,000 in return. That equates to .70 per pound retail. = $14 at the grocery store for your typical 20 pound melon. I dont think so duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude.

Also, melons coming out of south florida are seasonal and short, not 52 weeks a year. Best stick with running coils to and from Ohio. LMAO...

 

All true! I don't share the names of my good customers and brokers, because, well.......that's just not smart! But I will share the bad ones to avoid someone else getting a raw deal.
