    "Someone" is as hard to meet in person as "they". But one can hope.

    I was right behind that this morning. Some FFE truck. Right as I pass thru Quanah cops start chasing him going south on 287. He was creeping along at points doing less than 5mph. Would stop and then go several times. Eventually they blocked the road just out of sight but apparently the driver ended up getting out shooting at the cops so the cops ended him. The co driver got airlifted out. Ended up sitting behind them for several hours untill they turned everyone around and rerouted us.

    There's a bunch of different "net per month" in trucking.

    I could perhaps understand that as $30k/ month net to the truck. Then carve off all the maintenance/repairs, consumables(fuel, oil, washer fluid...), insurance, and other miscellaneous business expenses........
