We can officially call it the floor of rates

But if you load 30 ton it’s almost $3 a mile.

 

Exactly! I've been doing it all wrong I guess. Lol

 

My accounting is spot on I've already paid for my inframe on this truck. I pay myself $.75 to $1 a mile and I'm perfectly happy with. I'm able to provide for a family 4 being the only one working and I normally take home over 100k each year. I don't deal with brokers as I only do power only for a food company. I'm perfectly happy with taking 130k home. That's well more then I need.

 

I agree with your loads vs trucks #'s. but the truck pays the bills leased on or independent, don't kid yourself

 

Kill the whole day for $650 ?
Nope.

 

So many willing to haul for anything to make loan payment on their overpriced trucks they got recently.

Might be a good time to get into the repo business.

 

Saw a south georgia to Chicago reefer get booked for $1150. 900 miles. My bid was $2000.....

 

This right here is exactly why the rates are down
Guys will justify whether it’s right or wrong
But whatever their reasons for taking it doesn’t matter

What matters is the shipper ultimately got it moved for cheap so they’ll never up their rates when guys feel it’s not necessary
