STOP RUNNING CHEAP FREIGHT!!

YES
At a bare minimum
Who owns a business to make less than employee wages?

 

That's great but you were singing a different tune in your previous post quoted below. Sounds like you're still profitable so you're not doing anything "without pay."

 

I don't mean to offend you but you're just a glorified company driver. You get to run so cheap because you don't have all the compliance expenses and added overhead.

 

Sometimes it’s nice being a glorified company driver and using discounts to your advantage. My fuel cost for the year is right at 40 cents per mile, I get parts discounts at Peterbilt now, got my Michelin steer tires for almost $200 off, physical damage insurance is cheaper than what I was paying Great West on my own, no more paying for tolls. The list goes on. Profitwise I’m way ahead of where I was last year.

 

How much did you pay for steers? I paid $540 for Michelins 16 ply under CR England account (without installation)

 

"Business " means you have to make more than an employee. Can you hire a driver to do the work you do and still have profit leftover? If not, you just bought yourself a job

 

No I ain't singing Ing a different tune...im not tyler childers

I'm not going from Houston to Odessa at 1.88/mi

but i will go from Dallas to md for 3.25/ mi

 

$520-ish for 14 ply, so just under $600 each on the truck. It was the last set of the old X line steer my local shop had. I didn’t want to try the new version. I got $325 trade in on my old steers.

 

"my business " has written off 82k$ this year.... I have paid my employee 44K this year

I am poor, mr IRS man.


Anytime I can make sure I'm F'g the Gov't from stealing from me, I'm good. Taxation is theft.

 

and a job with no health insurance, vacation/personal days, retirement program, educational reimbursement, FMLA-
Having those things isn’t everything: but why work for less AND not have those things covered?
