Ask a question get a straight answer

Truck AND trailer paid for. Best thing since sliced bread, and womens chests. No lot lizards or cigarettes..healthy. budget of $15 a day @ wally world, sounds good to me.. 100,000$ / year though hit that number its awesome

 

I'm so very lost....first I never called you a dummy...second what am I susposed to be learning? I did well over 100 and I pulled auto freight for 3 months????? Maybe something is getting lost in translation but I am going to lay off and stop having so much fun.

I apologize for crashing your serious topic with my ignorance....whoops I do have one question....what kind of insurance do you have where you pay $375 for cargo? Now if that's true I am somewhat impressed

 

Hmmmmm......

????????????????

No

I love entertaining myself...if it's that big of a cover up (in a forum you started to "get serious answers")....I don't want to know (not intrested in going to the Grand Jury)

 

Is she hot.....

 

Ok, I will bite and ask a question. So when you talk to brokers and they give you a decent rate what do you counter with as an offer? Remember I said decent not great not horrible. Do you use a dollar amount ( like $50 - $150+), calculate extra cents per mile or a percentage ( like 10% - 15%+) to get a great rate?

As a side note, I don't think it is tough to make money in this industry. I have only had 3 1/2 - 4 months experience dispatching a driver and working with brokers. I haven't ran my driver without some type of profit. Granted some have been at 10% but I have also had other that were 30% - 40%+. Ok, so for all I know this profit sucks but hey it's profit. I have calculated our cost per mile and adjust it regularly to say on top of profit margins.

 

Just mention fuel prices and you will get all kinds of answers!!!!

 

It's depends and that question is very subjective.. However, what I do is I know what my per mile cost is. That's where I start, then I factor what the load is, how heavy it is, what area it's going to, possible loads out of that area and so on... Then I keep two rates in my head, the one I start with and the absolute lowest rate I would take for that particular load given the circumstances.... There is really not one good answer for your question, but I hope that helps..

 

Thanks I kind of had the feeling I would get that answer. LOL What about profit margins? Am I in the ball park with you on those? I would like to know where I stand.

 

Ok, here is my question.

You are bootlegging a load in the trees and come on a steep grade, half way down the grade brakes get hot and no jake.

What should I do? Wake up my swamper LeRoy or ride it out?
