    Do you see the full cost of the load? I ask because I might be missing it on the rate confirmation. I never know or see the full cost of that load.

    Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. But that doesn’t matter to me. What a broker makes is not my concern. I’m concerned with my profit margin.

    I don’t love cats but I like them. I don’t own one but I’m not against the idea. My dog would have fun with a cat sibling. I don’t like the feral cats outside in the neighborhood. One bit me and I needed rabies shots. I wouldn’t own one of those.

    My little pup has a 23 Lbs white cat that he beats up. They are best buds and Little Rocco grew up with him. First day I got Rocco the fat cat smacked him so hard it made him poop and pee himself. He was just scared of the pup since he kept chasing him. IMG_4014.jpeg IMG_4024.jpeg

    1000 miles x $1/mile = $1000
    6 MPG / 1000mi = 166.66 gal
    166.66 gal x $5.60 gal = $933.33
    Congratulations you made $66.66 lol, but hey at least you're in the truck lol
     
    workinghard Thanks this.

    You can't be serious? If you can not read and or understand the language the signs and street names are in you are 100 percent a liability/hazard on the road.

    Without the people in the warehouse you wouldn't have a job either. Everyone has to do their job to make the supply chain work. You aren't near as special as you think you are.

    Are you making the point that the rates are so low because everyone is taking dollar loads to pay the fuel cost to get home?

    If so, I find it hard to believe 90% of the loads on the board are $1.xx because everyone is heading home.
