Oh yea. You ready for this. Ive been sitting two days get a pre plan pick up loaded trailer at 2330 deliver 10 mi away tomorrow at noon.
If it is I dropped a load from sauna there on Friday. They were supposed to have my load "preloaded". It was not. They did however have 5 loads all ready to go for May but it wasn't mine. They also had one that was a 10 mile run. That might be yours and ready to go lol
The only reason its about the fuel is because of the freight they haul. May, along with Swift, Werner, C. R. England, Gordon and a few others haul Cheap Freight. So the profit is 2-3 cents per mile. The only way to stay in business is to run a lot of trucks and conserve as much fuel as possible. I pay for fuel at a much higher price than these big companies and i do quite well. I am also leased onto a company that does NOT haul cheap freight and I get paid % of load plus 100% fuel Sur Charge. Its about Cheap Freight.
