    Glad you got to see my #'s. I said earlier I'm no superstar. Guess I'll have to take that back.

    I'm still having no problem grossing 12-15k per week, on 3-4k in fuel.

    Yeah, do not ever underestimate yourself :D

    15k / 7 days = 2k per day
    2k per day / 600 miles = $3.33 a mile doing 4200 miles a week(?). Not bad money, but too much work.
    2k per day / 500 miles = 4$ a mile doing 3500 miles a week(?). Very good money, still too much work.
    2k per day / 400 miles = $5 a mile doing 2800 miles a week. In this equation miles are doable, yet $5 a mile... I don't even want to try what you are smoking :D

    PS: calculations were done inside the round bone enclosure on the top of a human body, so it may be a subject to correction.

    we are putting 9-11K on our skateboards a week. Fuel is eatting into the profits but the drivers are doing pretty good. Our hotshot trucks are getting destroyed. With fuel and rates, just not much money left over.

    In Georgia this morning I was able to get over 4 dollars per mile. Does this mean rates are coming back?
