Part of the 10%
Looking at old trucks is what got me on the rabbit trail of doing complete rebuilds.
I figure I would need to bake in engine rebuilds. So the idea of having a shop just to do that became part of the math. And if I'm rebuilding...
Trucking turnover rate is 90% on a good day. Best idea I've come up with so far to beat that is 30% gross and let the drivers pick their own...
Another question, cpm (actual miles) + percentage of gross. Is anyone doing this?
I've got a list from google and AI already. I'm asking what others use. The #### is the deal with the sensitivity on this board?
Alright. Thanks for the answer. Been an honest pleasure talking to the real deals.
Awesome replies. It's a simple question to answer. I didn't ask for business advice, just info from what kind of TMS software any owner operators...
I don't want to start a new thread so I'll bump this for my second question: If you have more than one truck what kind of management software do...
Appreciate the responses. I'll likely do a dba as "D's Gnuttz Trucking" so be on the lookout. [edit] I'll take my answer to the previous question...
That's helpful advice and I appreciate it, but really I'm just looking for information about how others hire drivers. I'm not going to gargle...
I'd love to get rich while someone else does the work. Even doing slightly better than breaking even while someone else does the work sounds good....

I plan to drive my pickup truck for the rest of my life. I lack the economists sense of detachment. Probably why my instinct is to spread out the...
Imagine taking your $15,000 truck to the shop. It would be like a scene straight from "Old Yeller"
The initial idea was, and still is, to buy trucks for power only to run under Prime Power Only, which requires 2023 trucks. Probably moving to...
My apologies. I'm afraid I am limited in what I can offer, beyond to myself. If anyone gets a spec'd truck it would be me. And I was seriously...
If by new you mean a 2023 Cascadia with a deer guard and apu, in your choice of purple, no problem. edit: yeah, no naked butt cameras period.
Revenue under 34 mil is still considered "small business", so I'm not going to lie. I did math out 60-100 trucks based on making just under that...
Also I got the idea initially from Prime power only webpage. Just found the edit button. So originally the idea was 2-10 trucks, my own authority...
