    Maybe for a company driver. Sounds like a direct path to bankruptcy for an O/O

    Add a dollar to that PM rate and I’m in. Otherwise I’d rather keep the truck parked and enjoy the time off. Ridiculous

    Except it wouldn't be profit, it would be revenue that you'd still deduct fuel and maintenance costs from. A very quick end to your business.
