    Good fortunes, Indy! That $3.18 will be much needed with the rise in fuel prices. Factoring Landstar's 35% (for those of us so applied) and the fsc, only, some of my data shows we can lop $0.98 to $1.25 off the rpm to get a reasonable idea of what we'll have left to work with. Of note, Landstar appears to have authorized the agents to offer more than $0.35/mile fsc. $0.38/mile for the run I'm on (not bad since I'm projecting I'll spend about $0.42/mile.)

    The run I just completed was $0.38/mile versus my projection of $0.36...numbers were fairly accurate as I fueled at 1/8th and delivered at just under 1/4th tank--used only the fsc $$$ (to compare).

    (If you're savvy with Microsoft Excel, and since you also work the loadboard, if you're not already doing it, message me and I'll explain to you how to get a range of future loads into a spreadsheet for you to plan against. It's how I got that great stack of four loads, booked, all over $3/mile, BEFORE I had to cancel due to my turbo/dpf not being on the same page! :D

    You are going of your own subject to try and make a point that wasn’t the subject.I was talking about people offering you business . You are not in retail anymore maybe the reason could be the way your treating your customers if your leased to landstar or anyone then they are your customer remember who pays YOU is your customer.I wasn’t referring to your example of someone trying to sell you something those aren’t your customers they want you to be there customer. You might want to know the difference if you’re going to work for yourself.any time my phone rings and someone wants to offer me money I’m interested now if they want my money not so
