Why do you keep pulling for cheap rates???!!!

He said $2 per mile after the split, so I'm assuming he means the truck profited $4 per mile. Still either making great money or lying through his teeth. *Shrug*

 

I sometimes wonder if my own truck thinks about me sometimes.

 

What I just learned today would make this guy excrete broken glass, and in the shock process - he’d clean every last shard with his tongue, in an attempt to extricate knowledge from the remnants.

I kid you not.

But after the knowledge hit me - one of the things I thought about - was this thread.

Carry on fine folks.

 

Awesome Dave.

I’m hurting a bit right now , but hard hasn’t killed us so far.

 

What did you learn?

 

$2/mile x 3350 miles is $6700. We are loading at the receiver and going 600 miles for about $2500 so our average is higher. I was just wondering if $2/mile on a long run is considered “cheap freight”. My wife and I love the new hot tub and our Disneyland/San Diego vacation was great too.

 

We get about 70% of what the load pays which in this case worked out to 1.98/mile for 3350 miles.

 

Ohhh gotcha. Good money, man.

 

Cool. I was wondering if I should be upset about not getting 3.

 

Your expenses determine what you need to haul for.
