I'd gladly do 400 miles for $5 per mile doing short haul in a day. That's still $2,000 and could still pick up another load on my way back home.
60 miles a day x $40.00 for short haul lol. I bet short haul rates are way more competitive though compared to long haul. That's not a bad idea to...
What is a decent money range per mile for short haul?
If he can constantly get me those $2.00 per mile bookings I'll happily pay him 5% to 10%. So in the end $1.80 to $1.90. All he has to do is call...
I have to get a year or two of experience regardless because I have to save money before I become an o/o anyways. Thinking about putting up...
I may finish with at least a bachelors or a CPA to go along with it. But, that is counting down on opportunity cost. I don't have many friends or...
I agree with that. The furthest you'd probably be able to go is to SLC and back from Upstate NY without a reset and that is pushing it. You better...
You guys all make valid points. I'll aim for doing a combination of both short haul and long haul. The reason why I was mostly considering long...
Diesel / Gas whatever you knew what I meant. I'm fine with doing those miles if I'm making a lot. Sometimes you gotta make sacrifices even if they...
Never thought that was the smarter way of working. The smarter way would be to find short hauls with higher paying miles. Less wear and tear on...
Not sure how picking up another shipment would be stupid, but okay. Sorry you didn't think about that one until I brought it up lol.
How so?
Does anyone here take home over $150k as a net income?
I guess I'll see what happens. Things can always be readjusted. You live you learn.
That should be factored into the calculations.
They should change E-Logs to 8 hours instead of 10 hours for shut down. It's screwing people. Those 2 extra hours could be used to make up time. I...
Probably lol.
I'm sure that some people go 5 or 10 over the speed limit so I doubt 50 or 55 is the average. Probably more like 60 considering you are going into...
It certainly can be done. Average speed limit is 70MPH. 4000 miles / 70MPH is 58 hours. 11 x 7 = 77 hours. You will have to take a full 34 hours...
Fixed Expenses: Truck Lease Payment – (Volvo VNL 760) Warranty covers DEF System + More = $41,600 Annually. Reefer or Flatbed Payment = $10,400...
