    I’m just running hypothetical numbers. Crunching numbers have my CPM wanna see see the profit margin just don’t have taxes accounted for.

    thinking of adding 40% on top of $1.58 a mile for Joe Byron

    power only, please.





    Brownsville/Laredo Texas to anywhere

    Naples/fort myers Florida to anywhere

    Atlanta to anywhere

    Profit margins look razor thin from me running numbers. Like holy hell some guys must lose money moving Amazon freight from what it seems

    DAT load board lets you sign up for a free demo account. You see most information about the load, including rate if one is posted. You just don't get the broker information.

    Unfortunately there are plenty of trucks on the road who are operating on the razors edge when it comes to profit and loss.

    Some of these trucks are the ones who are directly responsible for driving rates down because they will haul cheap freight just to get a load instead of charging a normal, fair rate.

    I did not know this; I tried to sign up for one load board and they won’t let you see anything until your authority was validated.

    holly hell, what a joke.

    $600 to move an empty trailer 1200ish miles.

    laredo to Grand Rapids $1,000? Yeah, okay…

    Trailers are expensive right now. I could technically buy a used cascadia right now. So I was just crushing numbers with the least amount of possible expenses/liabilities, but with also including real ones like taxes, PM/repairs, CPA, etc…

    trailer would just add more to the CPM but I could include one I guess since I’m just “pretending”. Maybe it’s because of the holidays, but DAT looks dry for my areas of where I resonate

    I think Landstar has online webinar and they show people interested in seeing their load board.

    In my experience Laredo power only is delivering a load and then given 7-10 days to bring the trailer back to Laredo.

    I’ve run a load for $1500 Laredo to Dallas and then given a week to bring the trailer back.
