    I agree with Land Shark. That rate sucks. By the time you pay your fuel insurance and maintence etc; You made a profit of around $.02 / mile. You blow a tire and you go in the hole. You should really be proud of that rate. Good Job. Nothing should move via truck for less than $2.00/ mile. Gotta educate these people on REAL cost and NEVER rely on your tax return for you years profit.

    You know someone took it with the idiotic "fuel money" excuse. Why can't all these idiots go out of business and get it over with.

    Spoke to a guy a few weeks ago hauling a load from Yuma,AZ to NY for $1.45 a mile. He thought he was in high cotton. I just shook my head. I guess some guys don't figure there costs, plan for mainteneance and tires, want to turn a profit, retire someday and then get a rate that includes all those on top of a wage. Maybe as long as he has fuel in the truck and enough money to eat at the end of the week he figures he is doing good.

    I was grumpy when my second load with my shinny new flat from Yuma to Chicago was only paying $2.10 per mile. Justified with my first ever load to Yuma at over $3 per mile. Sad thing was in both cases had people pulling same loads that did it for under $2 going down and $1.25 going back.
