What do yo mean when you say if you set your sights on $5k a week? Do you normally average less than $5k weekly or more?
We use fuel cards. We have Pilot, Loves and Wex/FleetOne and they all draft at the end of each week for whatever we use so we don't have a reason...
We are based in GA and we predominantly run in the Southeast region FL/GA/SC/NC/TN. Sometimes we run to KY/AR/LA. We stopped taking loads north of...

I assumed it was but is this normal with the recent large expenses we had OR is it still too high? When we ran the hotshot, our CPM was 1.48 but a...
Ok, fair enough but perhaps I am not understanding the question. If that is the case, dumb it down some more for me. We are operating at a...
Awesome...thanks! Enjoy your day buddy
Also, our CPM is $2.39 so I am looking for ways to get that down. We did just have a large expense when purchased the trailer and tractor in...
I agree with you. I am sure we are not operating efficiently but that is where I don't know what address. Our largest cost is fuel, of course!...
