how can companies make money with Tolls?

I can't answer the question about the how they afford trucks, I can't imagine how much it costs for big companies to buy hundreds of $137,000 trucks a year. yes, theoretically that $137,000 truck will make you $200,000 but that seems like a big risk. why not keep a truck 5-7 years? there are plenty of people with decomissioned swift/schneider/werner/etc. trucks and they all seem to be fine

the diesel fuel price is compensated by the cost of the run, the recent number i've read is $1.60/ mile. at $1.70 you've paid your fuel bill.

and collecting a paycheck is the company taking its revenue and diverting the money, my pay isn't included in that run since i'm paid mileage. at the end of the week the computer tells them I ran "X" miles, so at 37CPM (for example) and I ran X miles that makes a total. pay is based on everyone elses work since i'm not paid comission or by the load.

 

if my 17 year old sister, who knows absoulet nothing about trucking (but knows quite a bit about business) understands that "cheap freight is better than no freight" why can't others?

hell, I have absoultley no respect for Kevin Rutherford, I think he just says stuff half the time, but if he says "cheap freight is better than no freight" than i'm inclinded to believe him

if you're going to charge a certian rate but another company offers a cheaper price they'll go with the cheaper rate.

if i'm so wrong prove me wrong, instead of going to the grocery store with the cheaper prices go to the slightly more expensive store and buy the same prodict. i'lll bet you won't

 

screwing how?

everyone says "they screw over drivers" but nobody goes into detai as to what they mean
