Landstar So Far

If I was you I would keep on losing money. It seems to be benefiting you.

On a side note, my daily fixed costs whether my truck moves or not is $145 a day. Take off my truck and trailer payment and I'm right with ya.

 

Well there’s gonna be maintenance for running any miles, plus the truck wasn’t free and the next truck won’t be either, so we have to deduct for maintenance and next truck.
Then there’s the FICA tax and the health insurance premium.

So the numbers are misleading.

 

But Dave, you never mention the $100 every other day for a truck wash followed by $20 for the lot boy to polish the rims and another $20 for the lizard to polish the knob. $140 x 3= $420 you should have spent in "Housekeeping"

You also seem to have overlooked the average of $200 per day in roadside repairs from running old beat down equipment. $1400 to cover call outs and repairs.

You're also stacking loads too tight. You should not have done the Second load cause you had not spent 2 days calling brokers or "good customers" from the drivers lounge. Neither did you allow enough time for repairs and Chrome installation.

So I have it as you made $10 the first trip and the second trip does not count cause you should not have scheduled your time so well.

 

Just find this thread so I'm just wondering that 75 is for food/fun right? So do you/they cook your own food or eat out. I been getting interested in what I could cook on the road and stay healthy

 

Yeah, I knew you pulled their trailers. I guess I missed the part about you having two other trucks. Cool deal.

 

That's cool man. You let the drivers dispatch themselves?
