I appreciate it. Long day, so Im just getting back here.
Freightwhipper, Crete? Lol run the knox-ohio-pa freight train much? I feel like thats all I do. Lol seems they run you in one area, then switch it up to another. Im thinking that just might be the freight patterns, so kinda the first thing Im going to look at. Follow the money! And...no #### PA on the weekend. They tried to pull that crap on me this past one. Pick up in Pittston on sunday, del in greensboro, nc on tuesday...no. More like get my ### there late saturday, beg to get loaded, and tcall that ###### on sunday at the yard in greensboro, lol
Gentleroger- yeah yeah yeah, lol. Im a numbers guy, so the first thing I did was a side by side comparison of different lease offers I had, including schneider. Dollar for dollar, the schnieder lease itself is a bit more expensive. Having said that, the tractor is also coming in at about 10-15k less than average market, and there is no down payment. So I was happy to see, at least in the case with my tractor, We are talking a few thousand in difference, not tens of thousands. Made me smile. Lol
Sicksfeet - I appreciate the worda of wisdom, man. From what I am understanding, the most important figure is revenue per mile, not revenue per trip, or miles run. So I would be better to take 3 400 mile runs at 1.80 per run, than a 1200 mile run at say, 1.40. As long as deadhead made sense. Isbthis the right way to look at it?
You're a rider right? Crotch rocket? I used to have a suzuki tl1000r, yoshimira carbon pipes and header, milled with a fuel commander. Torque for days! Sold that and bought a busa, and went nuts. Now, I have a custom m90. Wanted to try the cruiser life. Lol. But will jump at another tlr if I can ever find one......
Today, I pulled the trigger.

That's def one way to look at it. Each person has different financial needs to meet and/or expect. The best way I've been able to break it down is a base revenue I want to meet or exceed that I can do in 1 day. Of course you want to do it at the best overall rate and least miles, but things don't always go as planned...that being said, I book based on revenue per day, at the end of the week I figure my total rate per mile and all that fun stuff. Things can change load preference in an instant ie: breaking point with a certain region, the need to get home asap, load cancellations, weather, empty hunts, drop and hook changed to live loads/unloads and on and on and on. That's why I only focus on total revenue day to day. You'll find a groove, it's going to take time though. Keep that in mind.
Yep gsxr 1000 turned drag bike. I had an 06 busa but never modded it. Ran out of money lol. Had to sell both a few years back. Miss my bikes, but now I got a new toy to mod.
GeekFink Thanks this. -
