What a joke. This thread is going bananas.......

No, wasn’t joking, was a serious question.
Opportunity knocking, just trying to learn before committing. Thank you. -
Question you need to ask, "IF" paying empty miles what is my dwell time from when I'm actually empty until you start paying me to run empty??? If you are sitting a day between loads your losing money.
Even if you are dropping and running empty, assuming 3.00 a gallon fuel and 6 miles to a gallon you are at 1.73 loaded and 1.30 empty, if your loaded and empty miles are the same you are at 1.51 per mile for all miles,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, -
Quoted as:
Pay is 1.02 plus fuel surcharge $1.23 loaded
Empty .80 cents per mile after first 50 miles per load
No trailer rentals
Fuel card with discounts

I wouldn't even give that outfit a thought, much less a second one.Justrucking2 and KANSAS TRANSIT Thank this. -
So, pardon my ignorance. My understanding was they are paying for fuel. Am I wrong? Are you saying their comdata card is not paying fuel, just allowing us to pay fuel with it?
