Where is everyone #5

I recognize all the tools in your top photo, and saw them being used a couple weeks ago! Was it nice not to worry about how many volts were going to the nozzles?lol

 

Couldn't tell ya havent actually spoken to anyone so this is all purely speculation because I genuinely dont know. Base plates are provided at 30 a week. Idk what a base plate is so yeah idk half of what I'm really reading so here I am asking questions.

Another thing to keep in mind is they also pay empty miles plus surcharge

 

What floored me was the price on injectors. I'm used to 1200$ an injector not 1200$ for all six! The old mechanical are neat, I wish we got to see more of them at work.

 

Well, I do not fully understand base plates neither. Never been in a lease. If that's all yours to keep between $1.94-$2.05 for all miles loaded & empty it may workout, but you'll be chasing miles I think..

 

Yeah, we just put new (not remans) nozzles in ours. $184 US a piece! I think remans were around $100.

 

Frankly doesnt seem like enough to make it worth it. I'm not sure how many miles a guy could get in a week but let's say 2500 a week,

Assume 75% loaded miles youd be at 4800 a week before fuel. National average on fuel is 3.06 and I'd use around 460 gallons if I didnt idle at night so maybe 500 gallons over a week. Not sure whatd itd burn while idling but guessing it at 40 gallons over the week to be safe. Spend 1500 in fuel so thatd leave me 3300 a week not counting maintenance. That's not enough to get me to leave being at home nightly.

I'm sure theres a weekly insurance cost and other misc things as well.

I did talk to a guy that hauls for who I haul for now that used to do Oakley and he said he made really nicely. I can do regional for who I drive for now but I'd have to have my own numbers and all that.

 

314 for my reman n14 injector wasnt bad I didnt think

 

Doh, I forgot no fuel surcharge for empty miles. Some companies rape the o/o on insurance too, or so I've hear. Maybe $300-$400 a week. Even if you take the the week off, still have pay them. The more you bring to light, the worst it seems to get..

If I had a job I liked & wanted to be home every night I'd probably stay at it, as long as I was comfortable $ wise.. Do you like being at your current spot?

 

Y'all need to get you a 33 ton with an upper....for WINTER!! Lol! Swinging the concrete bucket makes for a long day when ya' can't sit down!

 

I know a beautiful young mother that might disagree.
