Want to avoid getting burned by a lease-purchase agreement?

Actually most new trucks can operate on $2/mile and keep at least .90 after all expenses if they run the truck correctly and watch fuel mileage.
Can you do that in a 20 year old Pete running 75 everywhere? No. But new aero trucks with good fuel management can do it all day long and twice on Sunday's if needed.
So if you ran like that you'd clear almost 100,000 in a year. I can live on that.

 

Yup. The "best example" is comparing yard service to truck driving.

Qualifications: Low

 

My example was comparing operating ratio.Its business either way.
Not many business's operate on such a razor thin margin as trucking.
If you don't get it,its not my duty to explain it to you.

 

So if you could sell your plan,I'm certain some big,floundering truck line will be glad to have you come in and save them from themselves.

 

Trucking companies fail due to management failures. Plain and simple. There's always trucks and always freight. It's the person calling the shots that fail.

 

It's really simple. There are lp drivers making .80+cpm for all miles. They are successful. You cannot argue with those results.

I dont care care if in paying the companies bills. I don't care if I'm paying too much for the truck. Even with my extended home time I'm making easily over $80000 a year.

 

20% are successful.That's a fact.

It's a fact that all businesses have failures and successes. It's well documented. If we always stopped doing stuff because someone else failed then we wouldn't ever do anything because someone has failed at absolutely everything.

 

You could give away free trucks and trailers and 50% would fail. What's your point?

Why do I care if 80% fail anyways? Honestly. That number, which is the same for all new business not just trucking, proves some people should NEVER go into business for themselves.
