    Why don't you ask the thousands who've done that and gone broke?

    @BoyWander if you don't mind my asking, are you running the consistent lanes / areas or are you running where ever the good rates take you?

    I don't care where I go.

    I don't go northeast and I don't go northwest in the winter.

    Avoid Florida. I still absolutely boggles my ****ing mind how these $2/mi loads to Florida get gobbled up when it's a dollar a mile or less coming out.

    I just did the math.
    If I ran 100,000 loaded miles and averaged $1.60 a mile I'd make $30,000 before tax. All expenses included.

    Yet there are tons of people doing that.

    Because working your ### off for $500/week is better than starving in Ukraine or Albania or somewhere else.

    Actually with Ukraine local currency at 10 to one American dollar, that 100,000 dollar retail tractor probably costs 10K USD.

    CHEAP CHEAP AND CHEAP.

    I appreciate you. And your spirit.

    I must laugh out loud when you roar that you don't care where you go and then give the NE and Florida a hard time.

    I don't know what's going on down there any more ethos to be certain I worry about my people. I am assured they are doing well and the staff show good morale.
