Some numbers for my previous week. Does this suck?

do you have a truck payment or own it outright?

 

That should not be a factor, you don't work for less just because you equipment is paid for.

When you get your truck paid off do you call your customers and tell them you will now be charging them less?

 

Will it work for you? Do you know your cost to operate your business? I figure in all miles even my out of route miles if any to and from the house, I am steal burning fuel and wear and tear on my equipment. That $1.50 with their trailer or yours? Better figure up your cost plus wages to yourself and see if it works and then see if their is any left over for a profit. $1.50 sounds a lot better then some of these pay by the computer mile freight carriers, if they figured their rate of pay by the hub mile I think they would cry like a baby.

 

It does mater as it pertains to what your net earnings are.

 

Kinda like well I don't have a house payment, car payment and I am single with no kids so I will haul cheaper then the guy that is married w/ kids, a house payment and car payments.

Old Man that is the problem their are guy's out their that do just that, and 7 out of 10 couldn't tell you what it takes or cost to operate their buisness they just look at that check on Friday and think they are doing good.
