Quote this load.

Is this for real? How do you jump on a load without knowing your costs or at the very least a rough estimate. So someone booked the load and is asking around to see how much he's going to profit from it. I don't have any idea of the costs involved with this , but I don't see it ending well.

 

The post clearly says in plain english that “this is not my load”

 

I understand that it's not his load. But is it someone's load or is this something made up.
If I made it sound like I was talking about him I didn't mean it that way.

 

the clear answer is nothing or nearly all of it.

a seven axle can’t scale 110k in any state - certainly not out west. So - one need not buy permits as they are all B S at that point.

if you are willing to bootleg at 160k gross - you are wiling to run with out a pole car (if you ain’t scared of the states then why would you be scared of Landstar).

So at 16’ 6 “ wide - you might run a pilot car just to make it look good…. , figure maybe $1.85/mile maybe less because any decent pilot would never run this crap show - no route or permits.

lasttly - when the equipment breaks and you are stuck the the. Rand Billy and tow bulls will take all the money in any case

The agent should know better, and that $35k all-in price is totally retarded and show be twice and a half more

 

You certainly did. This guy is an esteemed member of this forum and has been for a very long time. He knows his stuff. I am a lowly company driver and I have learned plenty about the O/O side of this business.

 

I wish bob a lot of luck.
My napkin math WAG before fuel $6,851.47
I think it will take six days.

 

that will not even cover the 2 pilots ….

any decent set would f pilot cars is gonna be north of $2/mile plus

short miles are almost 2200 - then figure at least 25% more miles for size

that is gonna be 2600 miles minimum

so pilots alone are going to be north of $10k probably around $12k

not including permits or the potential for police escort or fuel or time or the cost of the specialized equipment need to do this - probably 10-12 axle - maybe a 9 axle step stretch maybe not
