You are still going to have to get the load count up or more loaded miles. Especially right now. The market is softening and I don’t see a hot shot averaging 4 dollars a loaded mile. I will concede that I’m not up to date with what that segment is doing, but I just don’t see it.
you now have 3.15 for your operating cost on 75,000 miles. If you bumped that to 100,000 miles you would be at 2.36. Probably closer to 2.50, but I’m too lazy to do the math.
STOP TAKING CHEAP FREIGHT YOU IDIOTS!!!!!

having workers comp is definitely a drain. Can you not get occupational accident instead?merv85, Another Canadian driver, Sirscrapntruckalot and 1 other person Thank this. -
I think it is good that you have a handle on expenses, but I suspect that with the market slowing one had better learn how to survive with a bit less per mile until things correct themselves. The market will not go below a profitable level for long.

Mind you, I work close to 120 hrs a week amongst all of them, yes the math shows less than 8, but 4.5 is the sweet spot. If you get my hint. I wish I had 40 hrs a day, I could accomplish so much more.Another Canadian driver, Oxbow and bumper Jack Thank this. -
