Nor have you supplied any of the requested information to disporve the latter... I have yet to see your "rig" or any loads on it. For all we know, you are a inmate in Stockton County Jail using his library time
What is with rates???

Is there any other kind of new truck. Do deadhead miles somehow have zero cost?

This is based on being leased to a carrier.Billerd Thanks this. -
Double tap.....

Over 4g's a week to have a new truck how many years would that last for? Being an O/O leased you'd be considered still a sole Prop except maybe NJ?
You can roll some of your pay into the schedule C and not pay as much taxes. In Al. I don't think unemployed sole prop. can draw UC.
Also don't a 1000 a month maintance may be on the conservative side? Thats not but two tires and oil change.? -
lets take that trip I started off in a FLD after two years the motor blew at the same time I was going thru a divorce I had a 99 dodge one ton dually that I drove everyday and always have had a 40ft gooseneck to pull my mud race trucks. In 2004 my motor blew in that truck so I got that C5500 it lasted two years and piston come apart so than I got a new dodge again that lasted 100,000 miles so on back to the big.
ive never owned a trailer smaller than a 40ft and the last mini float I pulled was 45ft, I made money than just couldn't keep trucks together in 2009 I got 3 freightliners and trailers in 2011 I stopped driving and worked in the office until I had a truck totaled and not long after a trailer than its been on a downward slop until I got down to the single truck I have now so get your story straighttruckon Thanks this. -
The picture shows breakeven, hiring a driver at .50cpm, in response to you posting that some on here say their breakeven is $1.60-1.70 per mile WITHOUT driver wages. On a new truck and trailer, I hope you're not changing two tires a month, nor changing the oil every 10,000 miles. The line I couldn't fit in the pic was MY profit on the truck which at $1k a week is $2.06 per mile which brings it $5,162 revenue on 2500 miles. That is easily doable at the company I'm leased to.

I see that, but my question is more towards the proof that LTL's don't pay well. Just about every load you have on your trailer is a LTL load for us. Add the fact I can take most of those loads, and add 2 more LTL's to it bumping my revenue up by at least $2k more....
Also, why do you not have any DOT numbers on your truck, or company name? -
I'm pretty sure this guy has been here before under something 1911 till he got booted.
