Better yet, starting reading and paying attention to the old hands on this forum giving advice regarding running under their own authority. Pay attention to the numbers. If you haven't done so already, make a spreadsheet with projected profit and loss. Download load board apps and start looking at what brokers are paying to move freight and find lanes that have high rates.
I gotta go now. I pick up a 700 mile load paying $3250 to the truck.K Wopper906, DDlighttruck, Broke Down 69 and 5 others Thank this. -
I on the other hand dont have anywhere to go. You already snagged up the only load i would be willing to pull. I will sit here making calls looking for work until i go broke or find a good paying load. which ever comes first.
So you made money today but what kind of taxes are you paying? If you file your end of year taxes and show a loss i believe you dont owe income taxes. Do you owe income taxes? Or are you like a hamster running on a wheel not getting anywhere -
That's how is going since spring show up! I have done plenty of 600-1200 miles for anywhere between 1500-4000!
Buy your OWN truck, not a lease a truck in your name then get your own authority and you'll see that a $1 mile load is only aceptable as a bad backhaul from Maine or similar poor loads states. Even then you could just drive empty to pa and get a better rate there.
Lepton1 Thanks this. -
We'll wait for the settlement pic

Ask our current president. He knows a bit about that

No I'm a $6.00 a mile guy. Take my word for it, no pics or proof needed. It's true, I promise.

It was clearly sarcasm. My god people have less common sense then a grape these days. No wonder there's guys running around for $0.95 a mile plus FSC
Post pic of yourself lol, you won't. Bet you're sucking down donuts and soda as we speak lmao.
