    I got 2,600 for the scrap metal load.
    Not great, but I had told the broker I'd call him on Monday to see if it was still available. The price on Monday would be double.
    "Customer" jumped on the 2,600 vs the 2000 originally posted.

    Truck back in the shop for that def issue.
    Freight rates have been really bad and brokers have been unwilling to pay more.

    Clayton IN to Raymond NH
    3800 975mi actual mi 1,029
    -380 lease on fee
    -190 insurance fee
    -250 trailer lease

    2980 revenue to truck

    Northwood NH to La Grange KY
    2600 958mi actual mi 1,015
    -260 lease on fee
    -130 insurance fee
    -30 eld
    -250 trailer lease

    1930 revenue to truck

    Jeffersonville IN to Raymond NH
    3500 970mi actual 1,030
    -350 lease on fee
    -175 insurance fee

    2975 revenue to truck

    Since brokers are unwilling to pay more for the posted miles. When I get back out there no more free miles, they pay for every mile from dock to dock.

    RTS has been coming through with some pretty fantastic discounts, I've also just added ES advantage to my cards to give me more options.

    Only thing I question with these cards is. How much of a mark up is their in fuel? How are these discounts sustainable?
    I also learned that RTS is a broker. So wouldn't that give them power since they know what I'm paying per gallon?

    I believe you will get past that. More than getting there. I’m praying for you, ever consider hiring your own mechanic?

    If I get more trucks yeah I've been considering that. But with just one I use the local Kenworth.

    Trucks still at the shop so I got time to get all 47 of these things stickered with the adhesives.
    Current mpg for reference.

    They are snake oil

    but. Snake oil works. Just ask Tom cruise in Days of Thunder. So it doesn’t work at all but your belief makes it work
