    That’s $6 a ton minimum

    1.5 hours a turn if your lucky .,and I’ll guess 26tons net on a 6 axle . We haul 105,000 lbs so lm guessing at the net.

    26x $6 =$156 a turn for 1.5 hours

    I don’t see any hope of doing it for $4.40 a ton.....

    That's only $104.00 per hour...not a pathway to making money.

    $100 per hour is a one man operation with single truck not someone looking to run a fleet. Not to mention the start up costs of maintenance, breakdown and fuel just to run until the revenue stream starts coming in.
