Average linehaul revenue, weekly expenses on choice, lease

If you're going to go that route find a baseline up to date average rate to compare the rates you will get against.

For example, DAT produces a free weekly info graphic of average van rates broken down into regions. So you could take that rate and do the math to match the percentage you receive and see if you are above or below that average.

It's possible you end up in an above average situation or you don't. If not you should probably have a game plan of what you will do.

The same for fuel. Use something free like mudflap to compare against.

Really at the end of the day it looks like you've made up your mind so the most logical thing you can do is start creating contingency plans for different scenarios.

Based on what you've said, the biggest question you should ask yourself is, why haven't you achieved any success in saving money and building great credit at this point in life and if you can't manage the business of yourself to achieve those vanilla goals will the same things tripping you up also throw a wrench into the much more complicated business you are set on moving forward with?

 

Nothing.

 

Why should I ask that question?

 

I don't get it I tried to follow your instructions but it doesn't work.

Why does everyone think I'm a any number of answers.

I just can't quite get the point, can you elaborate a little?

 

You got $3 a mile out of Phoenix from TQL.
Broker must have been stoned today, probably was supposed to pay $1.30

 

Nope, TQL pays well….If it’s last minute. Those 1.30 loads are just Hail Mary for a rookie. Been hauling around the 3 a mile mark (lil above or below) for 2 years now. Without an issue. Just got to do the harder stuff, network, know the game, and pull a wagon that costs a lil bit of money.

 

Only time TQL pays is last second emergency loads. Otherwise their phone calls are waste of time.

 

All those big companies do this.
Seen a bunch of Oakley hoppers in a place i run a bunch.
Loads pay $2050, 360 loaded miles, 5.69/mile loaded.
Their pay for o/o
