How do you know they "get loads that other companies don't want to haul"? VERY interested in how you would know that as you are neither operations...
Why do you keep thinking percentage pay is some higher form of pay? For some odd reason you think you are going to run 3 loads every week that pay...
Don't forget about holidays, personal days off, breakdowns, layovers, slow freight seasons, etc Sounds very ambitious but good luck
Interesting... How do you plan on pulling in 55k on 450 miles a day? Whats the cpm?
Wow! Sounds easy guys! I can't wait till you're millionaires! Getloaded.com? I wish I would have thought about that! All these others guys on the...

Do not settle folks! Somebody will take your truck for the rate you're asking so stay patient and just say NO to CHEAP freight!!!
I don't know anything about them besides what I saw on their website. With that in mind, it shows they may run old equipment. That's the only...
