The guys in Cali who have conditioned themselves to think this way are their own worst enemies.
I seriously doubt they're getting a flat $3, but even so, we'll use that number.....
$3x3,000 = $9,000 $1.20x3,000 = $3600... $9,000 and $3,600 divided by 6,000.... $2.10 per mile....
A new carb compliant reefer is going to set you back 70k, that's just the purchase price, that's not the fuel, maintenance, insurance, tires, etc..
Now, at first glance $2.10 a mile seems pretty good, I mean if somebody offered me $2.10 for all the miles I could drive, I'd think... ok....
Until I figured out what the trailer was costing me, and how cheap the $3,600 dollar backhaul actually was....KB3MMX, Dave_in_AZ, Classic97 and 1 other person Thank this. -
