For sure. You don’t have to worry about me taking your freight

 

Not a chance. You must be using one of those special broker calculatiors. Everything has gone up and rates have not increased to match business nor personal expenses. Gold certainly has increased in value though.

 

18/19 were fair. 20 was tough for me. 21 wasn’t bad. 22/23 were great. 24 after all was said and done really wasn’t bad. I grossed about 30k less but profit was the same as 23. And profit is really what matters. And so far I’m at about 8k profit on 65 gross for the year. I prefer to stay at 20% margin which would be 13k. But I’ll take 13%. January was rough. Lots going on with elderly parents. So that put a damper on things

I guess everyone's experience is different, but I made $11,000 in one week during covid.

$5,000 was a very very easy week during covid. Didn't have to work very hard to make that at all.

$7,000 to $8,000 was a snap of the fingers.

All local work.

I don't ever ever foresee another time that I will make $11,000 in one week doing local work.

Right now if you run around the clock and bang your head up against the wall and didn't sleep, maybe you could make a couple thousand on local work.

 

I had a guy email me today needing a power only to shuttle 4 loads a day. 20 miles each way. 800 per day for the next 6 weeks. I thought that was awful cheap.
