I've actually had brokers tell me, "it covers your fuel". Gotta love how some of these places are so audacious that they think they have a say in how the Carrier runs his business.
Cheap freight losers are destroying the market this month.

ive always viewed trucking as a startup capital machine. A restaurant would be so difficult, but a spot that specializes in cravings foods sounds smarter. Ex: customized french fries, frozen alcohol drinks on college areas, etc.
Mold treatment businesses, had a guy I know charging 40k to insurance for a clean. Took less than a week.Brettj3876 and Rideandrepair Thank this. -

I’ve always heard the answer to the term backhaul, is Theres no such thing as a backhaul. The term assumes you need to get back to a specific area/ Customer. The Loads often pay twice the cost of fuel to run it. Pays lol your fuel for the round trip. The terms been around for as long as I can remember. A lot Operate like that. Making $5.00 one way, $1.00 back. $7000 week, for one round pulling a Reefer, same thing every week, for 2300-2400 miles, back when a Dry Vans best week was $5000-$6000 for 3000 miles.

I know 2 places like that and they're only open Thursday-sunday. They make bank. One place is a pizza shop with the best pizza in the area. They only do pizza and a few different subs, everything made from scratch. The other place is a BBQ pit with homemade ice cream and a brewery on site. Both places are always packed.
Edit: The pizza shop comes out to about 50 for 2 large pizza including the tip. It's worth it tho I'll gladly pay for good foodLast edited: Mar 22, 2022

I wouldn’t attempt a Restaurant with a big menu. We have a lot of competition here. I’d open a small Breakfast, Lunch place. Start at 4:00 AM, close at 2:00, home by 4:00. Good Southern homemade Breakfast, Soup, salad and Sandwiches for Lunch. Nothing too fancy or expensive.
