Giltner Logistics, WTF? Is this for real?

how many miles what figure was that based on?

We're invited in to his little baseless world just to be insulted. Wants our numbers but has none of his own. I smell a troll... run forest!

 

That was off approximately 2,500 miles. No deadhead

 

Lmao! Not y’all mad I didn’t hand over a spreadsheet of MY internal operations. You showed up looking for free game and got mad when I didn’t feed your ego with your little competitive gatekeeping routine. None of your business was wanted, none of it is missed. If setting boundaries makes me a troll, then I’ll be that. Run along, Forest. Maybe try running a business next time instead of your mouth.

 

5327*.8=6658 gross & 5327 net?

I'm not here to knock your business, I just like numbers. That maths out to the truck making $2.13/mi on 2500mi~ for $5327 after lease on cut. Is the 20% authority, insurance, ifta, etc? or just dispatch fees as you were unclear.

 

Man that's an awesome comeback. Your obviously so far ahead of me I'll never be in your league. But I'll keep dreaming of the day i can scrape myself off the bottom . But I'll keep watching learning and listening, who knows.

 

No worries! I appreciate how you asked. The 20% is simply the lease cut. We don’t charge dispatch fees or any of the extras like insurance, IFTA, or authority. Those aren’t passed on to the driver. Just a straight 80/20 split, no hidden costs.

 

So it was closer to $2.66/mi gross with a 20% fixed op cost, gotcha. I don't pull dry so I don't follow that part of the market & can't comment on it.

I think you would have seen a better welcome with that information up front avoiding some unneeded heat.

 

Your math wasn’t wrong, and I appreciate the way you approached it. It was respectful and logical. The heat didn’t come from a lack of clarity, it came from ego. I wasn’t given space to have a real conversation without folks jumping in trying to fish for numbers or get a rise out of me. I don’t do the dog-pile thing. I’m open to dialogue, just not disrespect disguised as critique. You actually took time to break it down, which I can always respect.

 

I’m confused by the different statements about he’s your driver but then you say he’s a contractor but then you say he’s a driver you pay very well to use your truck. If it’s an 80/20 split and his 80 is over $5k then are you paying truck expenses? Or is the $5k not really his true net because he’s paying the expense on your truck? Is it a lease purchase? Is it a straight lease? What does your “contractor” have to cover out of his $5k weekly “take home” pay?
