mortgage rates are still up there though. i don't think those are gonna come down anytime soon not till we get teflon done back in the house!!!
Were you getting tires that cheap? I just payed 750 for a steer tire and even got a 250 discount or so.
Paid $686 for xze 11r22.5 in March, put 8 Toyo m647s on the drives for $450 out the door in April, the Bridgestone 726s I’ve ran before we’re up over $700 a pop, (and I don’t think I’ll go back to them honestly)
Whether you're a O/o, small/medium/Larger Carrier, Broker etc. Its a nickle & dime business regarding a profit where you have to watch your margins or else you'll sink in these times. Even your residual finances will get eaten up. I saw some O/o's filling up large canteens last week in Michigan when I saw diesel at $3.14. That speaks volumes. Many want to hold face as through these aren't hard times compared to 4 years ago. But numbers don't lie.
