I've personally found it much easier to just charge a lot during good times so I can sit at home without a worry for 3 months while everyone else works cheap and runs themselves out of business. I think I've worked 6 months in the last year, all with a truck payment.

It all comes down to saving when things are good to get through when things are bad. There will always be something bad that happens, so you always have to be prepared. I've had a lot of life lessons on this between my personal ability to get injured and economic cycles. I've watched a lot of people who make the same exact thing I do fail purely from their inability to financially manage a business. -
They do it well, but I'm working with the loadboard very intensive so I can say that I have 1,5 dispatch just for me).
Vampire Thanks this. -

Saying no to cheap freight is like pleading to the moon to stop shining. The market gives the rates and you either take it or sit at home. How long you can sit home before taking cheap rates is the question that everyone answers to themselves. Nobody is powerful enough to outmaneuver the market rates by a lot.
Speed_Drums Thanks this.
