    Wheelwell. You need to find exactly where the problem is. Your gross number does not look too bad, but the gross to net ratio is waaaaaay off!

    Are you using ATBF, the trucking accounting firm? They can look at your details and tell you where the problem is. Without seeing anything else, my guess is you are running a lot of cheep miles. What are you earning per mile? That would be gross revenue divided by all hub miles. I'll bet your very low. These guys are running in the $1.40 to $1.70 range. We need to find the deficiency in your numbers and make changes accordingly. FAST!
     
    Wheelwell and mattbnr Thank this.

    I've had that problem with two different Cascadias. Both times it was the clutch switch and was fixed under warranty. Sometimes dragging the brake works, but it's a quick and easy fix at the shop.

    I had exactly one long conversation with ATBS. Kept calling me and bugging me. Lets go over your profit/loss .... non stop. I'm like there is no profit, what is there to go over?

    But you need to figure out WHY there is no profit

    yes, just was talking with another driver who runs west. hes got the same issue. The problem is to many of the west coast loads don't pay squat.

    They replaced the clutch switch, then cleaned out some of the DEF stuff. 62.00 for the switch, 592.00 for the labor. Truck running good now though.
    I'd like to find a third party extended warranty that covers the other stuff.... emissions, alternators, etc.
     
    mattbnr Thanks this.

    Hope it picks up :) im from Boise, ID and am coming over. Tho I will prob go run over in the flats of the mod west and back to Boise. Staying in the west exclusively eats more fuel also as ur fuel milage suffers. But that's just me. Decent loads out and in.
