How are Brokers NOT to blame?

I'm not hauling cheap, nor am i the one on here complaining about cheap freight.

 

They were reefers, but I didn't mean it as a slam type comment, more about how much I enjoyed it.

Not sure what McDonald's does in the USA, but around me they contract out the trucks to pull their trailers.
If there is money to be made at it, those would be great contracts to get.

Don't even need to wear a kidney belt, or wear gum boots, and slog around on a muddy deck with 130 lb chains.

I sincerely mean it when saying that any fast food restaurants should be a smoking good job.

Maybe a fleet of light duty KWs with paccar power, or volvos, hwy gearing, and give'er hell.

 

My #'s. I'm #1

My pricing strategy. Get the most i can for the places i want to go

 

When Brandon raises the tax rate to pay for all his wasteful spending, and drives diesel up to $14/gallon, and tires double in price, it will be interesting to see who survives.

 

I'll type even slower so you'll understand, though i doubt it.

You words "Right now fuel is $1 a mile so add that to $1.71 and the base rate becomes $2.71..."

That's lying about your cost to yourself and anyone reading it. You can term it any way you like, cushion, whatever but it is not your cost as you stated.

 

Hell yea,14/gal would make my fuel cost on contract a negative 1.15 at fsc

 

Dude.

You either have no discount on fuel or you're inflating your cost. Anyone reading it takes the cost as $1.00, which is not accurate as to your cost.

Like i said, makes all your numbers suspect.

I typed this really slow......

 

There was one other post and I can’t remember the cities that he made up his quote for, but he said he’d need 170 gallons of fuel. And for the miles it came out to 4.98 mpg so his $1 a mile might not be far off.

Or maybe he was adding a cushion for the additional cushion of fuel cost.
