STOP TAKING CHEAP FREIGHT YOU IDIOTS!!!!!

She technically doesn't get paid, it's a wife/husband team. 3 trucks is the magic number for everything, one truck covers all the costs and the other two are profit, assuming you have drivers in them.

 

I actually only have 100k cargo, the rest is the same as you (I raise my cargo as needed.) Where do you cut the operating cost then? I could do it for $0.60/mi less if the government left me alone, I could net more money if HOS didn't exist and if receivers didn't close at 1300-1400 hours. But when I put a 40ft load on my truck, I expect it to pay enough for me to profit.

 

That's recommended for routine hauling, I'm not going to sell this truck when I'm done, it will go on the ranch and serve another purpose, but still that's what it takes to make it last.

I just call my agent and she raises the limit to what I need above that for that load.

 

Yeah, I looked into it, wasn't needed for enough loads to make it viable as a business decision. Although, when we get the detach for the Freightshaker it will probably get bumped to 500k permanently with riders as needed.

 

10k per year with work comp. BTW my trailer cost 55K low pro step with a gooseneck.

It went up this year and last for no reason other than they could. Shopped around, next best was 15k per year just for auto and cargo, no liability or work comp.
