    If it took you 240k to legitimately run and pay yourself a premium driver wage plus the future replacement costs for your truck then 250k looks much more savvy then Someone saying they ran 100k miles for 140k.

    Your screenshots mean and show nothing. There is a reason nobody is ever impressed with them. That’s like a pimple on a knats ### all things considered.

    I’m actually not trying to hate on you at all. It’s just it’s very typical for someone to look at some balance of 30k or some deposit of 10k and feel great about it. All the while they’re actually going broke and not seeing the big picture. You’ve been doing this long enough now to know I would imagine.
     
    Siinman, Short Fuse EOD and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    If you really did buy those then it’ll be comical to see how “easy” it is to find “good” and “lasting” drivers for them since everyone seems to think the driver shortage is a myth. Good luck with it. (Sincerely)
     
    Siinman Thanks this.

    That's no balance sheet. That's just handy money on the comdata card.

    You let me know when you hear me whining.

    And in all fairness, I do not hear you whining. I do hear a lot of other folks who may see your numbers and think they are killing it, whining. Things are only going to get worse so people should buckle up and get ready if they are concerned as things stand. The OM no doubt knows this.
