Finally got my own truck

Freight rates have always been based on location. Simple supply and demand. Denver for example is one of the worse markets. Phoenix has been the very worse for open deck for as long as i can remember.

 

I pulled a rock. I used Celadon for an example because I knew they are publicly traded, so the reports are easy to find. I forgot that the reason I knew that Celadon is traded publicly is because of them being in trouble for cooking the books!

 

Pepper . I sit roll the dice especially if ph is ringing off the hook. Had an offer for 3.50mi going to good area but the worst receiver. Associated Groceries in KS. 30min later I scream for Ice Cream 732mi 4400.00 at 3pm. Sure why not glad I sat rolled the dice. 9grand and counting for the week on 2223 odometer miles. $832.17 in fuel. 3 days left in payroll. Gotta get some rubber good week for it.

 

Hate to drop in like this but looking at starting out. Wondering if I could get ahold of these spreadsheets you have created. Would help me tremendously.
Thanks

That just gets me all emojinal.

 

How are you making out boywander! Excellent thread! Taken me 5 days to get thru it, excellent source of information!

So real and raw! You can feel the anticipation when the loadboards and giving you the shtick!
I'm glued! all the best to you and I'll be following.

 

15k for June

I don't think it is. Think about it if most of they're fleet is lease ops they can afford to pull cheap. They really don't have much overhead the lease op does. If you had 3 drivers paying all the bills tell me you wouldn't pull cheap loads the brokers are gonna give you kick backs for doing so. 1 that may put you in a high pay lane time and time again

 

Pick any publicly traded mega fleet and a quick google search will give you their financials, including gross revenue. Now go look up their dot number to get their total reported mileage. Use those numbers to figure out what they are averaging per mile.
