Exit plan? Some of that would be in the contract. Or just find someone else who can do it better. Plus, you already would have a couple of...
Ok, I got it. But you have just as much chance to fail if you are OTR. Many of you have been stuck in the middle of nowhere with a load that you...
The loading facility is pristine concrete...nothing is on the ground. No scatter. Again, it just is...not even an issue. The idea of me setting...
Definitely one of the big things I thought about but didn't bring up...don't know. Funny, I don't think my friend will even have time to find...
It's dumped on concrete...everybody thinks this is yard work. It's not. It's ok, we are talking about turns, backing in, etc. I get it. I...
3-5 years...but yeah. If it is only one, that wouldn't work. How would I be using up more tires than 'you' are doing right now??? Same mileage...
I'm just surprised how many people would need to get triple their normal salary to work the same or less hours than they are doing now...and...
Oh ok, it's just I think someone else suggested to put 10% in an earlier post. If you want to put down 40%, you are up to charging $250/load +...
There is so much there, I have to take it piece by piece. 365 days * (6 out of 7 days) = 313 days/year working I expect better than 5mpg, but...
That is great...but I don't make that and can't find work to get 130,000 miles/year consistently as you can. And there is no way I would even get...
Pipe 40, it pretty much has 3-5/day, all year. The contingency I have in effect would be to not have to have any one person run more than 3/day....
You're right...you can't go into this with a top of the line truck and expect it to work. It can, but you'd be just as happy to trade it in for 2...
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the input. I really do. But how does my friend not only do it, but thrive...and push for more? I use the...
$9200/week...that's $478,400 for the year. I can't make a profit unless I charge $478,400 for a mostly one-truck job that does 137,000...
Even for the distance 100-110 miles roundtrip, you don't think you would get more per load? My friend is getting more for less mileage. $135 is...
RBHT, $650/day doing an average of 4 loads is only $160/load (not $225)...so where in the middle does it make sense? At $160/load, that is...
I have a 2010 Volvo and have hauled way worse and heavier than a small end dump. And it's not in a quarry where you are going to rough up the...
Lester, Fortycal...it's guaranteed loads. It just is. Nobody believes it...that's fine. Why is it so hard to believe anyway??? Some people...
A friend accepted a deal like this for less several months ago...he's excited about it. A headache to start out and think of in terms of the...
Danny, It's not in rural areas...all highway. And as far as the hook and drop scenario, it just is as I described in this case. The other...
