What would you do?

Lol I type slow

 

My question is would the raise put you in the red because more than likely your gonna lose two drivers if they're buddies. If $600 extra per week is gonna put you in the red then you might have to go a different route. Another option if it's really cutting down to the pennies show them the contract for the run plus all your realistic exspenses and then ask them to stick it out until you can find a better paying run. Try setting up a bonus hair to keep a lil while longer while you find better paying freight because 1.80 for a team truck isn't that good of a rate with your own DOT numbers

 

all im saying is that we dont know how exactly the conversation went down,the one thing im sure of the op need to look at the way he operates.

 

He's prob already got something lined up. Chock this up to a learning exp and move on

 

A buck eighty for a team, running under your own authority is extremely low. You could literally gross more by leasing that truck to a decent carrier. And have a LOT less expenses.

 

Great! Glad it worked out.
