Buncha TRASH

I meant it as a joke lol

 

LOL I don't know too much about hot shot rates. I'm just a dumb truck driver.

 

Personally, I don't worry about X amount per mile but rather X amount on average per day. $2/mile if you are only running 200 miles is still just $400. It's been weeks though that it's been slow for cars. I struggle like hell to get out of FL but when I get out of FL it's like the only good loads are paying to go back to FL.. lol

Luckily I was able to book a couple of cars on Fris I can pick up tomorrow so I don't have to deal with the Monday after the Holiday dead zone.

 

If you can haul cars it's not hard to get out.. I never have issues getting out of there. The biggest issue is a lot of them wanna go further west and I never want to go that way.

 

Talking about cars.I don't go to Denver very often but when I do it is usually a struggle to get decent paying loads out.

 

My Dispatcher works with another car hauler hotshot thats only worried about gross or X per day.
He grosses 20k a month and barely keeps 10. I gross 15-16k a month and keep at least 10k net. I net more for every mile I do.
I do less miles, less work, burn less fuel and less wear and tear, also get more home time.

If I run just 200 miles for $400 I still take home $200 for 4 hours work after expenses.

 

Yelp, You work that plan every time is a winner. What is your radius? In a couple of years you can get a big drop on premiums with lower radius. I am assuming you are working close to home, and not jumping to far out by having that ability to pick and choose.

 

Timing, My first year out I went to your neck of the woods the week before Christmas, waited for a couple of days looking and had to deadhead back so I could see our Son before he reported back for duty at Coronado. The holidays can be a money making opportunities or suck a lot of profit up by not being aware.
