    Frame paint. Found at any parts store. Heck even autozone. Use a wire brush attachment ona grinder and take it down to bare clean metal, then a good coat of primer, then paint.

    You would think on a power only load they would pay all miles... They want it pu at point A delivery to point B then bring the trailer back to A. But they are not paying the return miles of 600 lol. It's paying decent though.

    Hi Pete! What advice can you give us to have a $7000 week? This week we are going to do $5600 and that is killing ourselves driving 4000 miles. Did you load 3 loads paying about $2350 each?

    I did 3 loads one was around 1700. Other was like 2400 and Friday was almost 2600. Its just being in the right area at the right time. I don't run 4,000 miles a week. Every load I booked was over 2.35 a mile and under 20,000lbs. This week will suck cuz I did a 34... I think I'll do around 3200 this week. On 2,000 miles. I had 30 people in front of me on my Fargo nd load. They all passed it was only 8,000 lbs with 2 stops. I know I can almost always get loaded out of SD for 1.60. So I went. I had 150 mile bounce to pu. It's just right place right time.
     
    fivestar and Klleetrucking Thank this.
