    I can't find it now but saw the same advertisement for Sherwin Williams it was roughly $1.44 a mile plus a fuel surchage. Was a little over $2 a mile.

    I can not go burn my tires for 2 bux a mile, second week sitting and one more to go. You can do whatever you wish, I'll burn my rubber when I see it pays for it.

    2 bucks a mile leased to a carrier has about the same value as 3 bucks a mile as an independent.

    I didn’t see mileage but I seriously doubt you are running 150,000 miles a year. I figured 100-120,000. But again I didn’t see the pm pay listed.

    No it’s supposed to be plant To plant and plant to warehouse moves. Some drop and hook and even have a few dedicated lanes.

I have a 28,000 pound heavy haul tractor so I don’t think I’m what they are looking for. However I’m sure that’s a better deal than goga has just sitting at home on his aśś. And maybe if they would hire kenworth 6969 he wouldn’t be so dam miserable all the time.

    $1.50 a mile to go to Los Angeles from chicago.
    All to get $2 a mile coming back with $6.50 a gallon fuel.

    Once you pay for fuel and driver there is nothing left. No other expenses and there are many others.

    Are we all in a race to bankruptcy hauling loads cheaper and cheaper?
     
    Rideandrepair and JonJon78 Thank this.
