    I don't know for sure, but I have been told by one person I met with a new Pete that it was a little smaller than the Cascadia.

    Actually Profit is Revenue minus expenses, and like I said before he's created a job for himself, and I've created a company not to have a job, but to one day have employees and retire. So his logic is on its face illogical from a business perspective because to limit your revenue to increase your profits by such a small amount is funny. But like he said he's lazy, so he's running a "business" with no intention of growth, but just to maintain what he has, and whatever works for him, that just don't work for my set up, and plan.
    I just wanted this to come out because you constantly see that one side being talked about, and the opposite being told is not good, and that's just crazy considering how much I'm making versus how much the fuel economy people make. But whatever I could care less, I'm fine, but there is another way, and I'm an advocate of that way like he is for his way. ✌🚛💨💨

    I would like to say I have tried both ways and found running hard need me less the steels way. I disagree with a lot of things but I know my wallet is fatter his way. I run at 60mph I get 8.34 on mountains and 10s on flat. I'm sacrificeing 300 miles a week but the street is cut the constantly changing lanes is stopped and a show a larger profit on fuel. I understand you have your way and I appluad your stance however as I always say run the numbers to get your proof.

    My stance is that what works for one doesn't mean it will work for another. There are many ways to make money in this business. There are also many ways to lose money in the business.

    IMHO, both parties are correct as they have two different business models they are following.

    Treating me pretty good. Now that Esmeralda has broken 100k on the ol' odometer, the mpg's have really gone up. This load I have now is 42k and still getting 8mpg out of her at 62mph. Even with the head wind.
     
    crxdc and Aminal Thank this.

    I've run the numbers that's how I can say with confidence I make more than him, cheap fuel and high miles but whatever works for you, but I'm in this to make as much as I can and I'm doing that. ✌
