    Yeah. Wonder if they factor in the cost of the motel room in those figures?

    What's your legal liability when one of those tired drivers crash?

    Of course it isn't.

    But more the more important question is when did basic math stopped being taught in grade school?
    2700 $ on 3000 miles is 90 cents per mile.
    What is your cost per mile to operate?

    If it's such a sweet deal why isn't he adding on his own trucks? Business and friendship don't mix well.

    Exactly what I was thinking!
    The only way to make any money in that racket is to have a whole herd of them one truck one driver no money!

    Hey buy a Sprinter and try it!!! You can always drive the family to church in it if it doesn't work. The box trucks are only good as a yard ornament if it fails.

    Seriously though I can't make sense of the figures but i just put in a 17 hour day so that could be it too. Is that legal?
