saying NO to cheap freight

Scary mentality. Now I know why some brokers have the balls to post the horrible rates they do, gentlemen like this eat it up. Sight see on ur car , make money on ur truck

 

Trucking is trucking. "Oilfield " is t exempt. There's always guys happy to lower prices

 

Worked well for me most of the summer. Me and my family loved it, and my truck for that matter

 

Personally, for my my motto has always been work smart, not hard. There are lots of loads over $5/mi. They are shorter runs, but the take away is you burn less fuel and less time fighting traffic. Also, less wear and tear on your truck. If you can do a 100 mile run for $700, why wold you want to do a 300 mile run for $700?
Its better in my opinion to establish yourself in one geographical area for more money than running natonwide, unless travelling long distance is what you want. Nothing wrong with that. Just not a lot of loads over $3/mi on the long runs.

 

lets see, when I get done on the 17th I will take home $11200.00 total miles will be 1845ish. I guess I'm doing it wrong!! that's after sitting for 9 days. with an old wore out 1999 truck.

 

That's not enough miles! You are going to go broke!

 

yeah I know, blow all of it on beer and bike stuff when im sitting!

 

sent ya a pm.

 

And the rest you waste right? Lol
