    I get it .. your listening to my Mentor "Kevin Rutherford " on Sirus XM -

    Let's Truck Store Truckers University

    Bottom line is RATES are extreemly Low - although there are excellent examples
    on posts here to help out like the Toll App of which I will be implementing.

    Kevin Rutherford is THE man:

    your question is legitimate - we are in a booming economy and rates are low - answer >
    there were tons of truck and trailers bought last year on the market - bottom line market is saturated with trucks right now.

    Especially in PA!!! I took a load from Baltimore to Cincinnati the other day......you can even use US 40 just a little ways west of Grantsville. It does suck if heavy, because that is one of the steeper hills this side of the country, but PA tolls will kill your profit. I never understand why drivers ride that turnpike the entire length of PA.

    I have no idea what you are talking about.

    Did you come here to get advice or to show everyone how smart but broke you are?

    Or maybe the economy isnt booming as much as a year ago. They are certainly trying to beef up that line, but a booming economy would create more work in theory, or nah. I just think the megas have all the power now. Big money speaks the loudest and they can set the tone for the market, even though megas make up a small fraction of the industry. They can have multiple customers across the USA. The small guys would be happy to get just one.

    Easy tiger - might be able to have some constructive conversations here if we keep open minds.

    Some of the quotes are getting blurry here too, by the way.

    I was legit going to help the guy but I don’t think he came here for help. Your post was great by the way. Especially the part about asking so many questions and learning all you can from everyone.

    @JerryD13 - could you give a quick run down of your operation - might help hone the answers.

    Truck/Trailer/ operation/ areas / cost per mile and why. General stuff.
     
    Tug Toy and 77fib77 Thank this.

    It’s listening without opening my mouth is what I learned the most.

    I actually like the failure stories the best - they taught me a lot.

    Appreciate it.
