    Yes you will go broke running off the load board IF you don't know your numbers. But at this stage in your game I'm sure you know your operating cost to the tenth of a penny. I'm my personal experience I have only found that insurance gets cheaper the older I get. Pick up the phone and get some insurance quotes its that simple.
     
    DLW0928 Thanks this.

    I'm using this post as a disclaimer when you insult my ancestors in a few months.

    You'll run. But you can scratch out $1800 or better a week after all your overhead.

    It's not all bad, and they have an excellent wrench that will keep you up and running pretty cheap.

    Tell Mike I still have man love for him when you see him.

    You'll see him at some point. He's ok. If he asks how you know me, I would just say Dave from the Internet.

    I was going to pulp his favorite dispatcher on the terminal manager's desk, right in front of God and everybody.

    I think he's ok with it. But don't bring it up. Just say Dave lol.
