    RICK G the EXPERT on EVERYTHING TRUCKING , do the math , if it costs me $1.00 / mile to deadhead a truck and trailer and I can get $1.60 / mile to go the same distance whats required to PROVE anything to you.

    My Drivers get $0.48 to $0.52 / mile + all the EXTRAS , their yearend BONUS is a lot more than $60.00 a week , read what I posted " the $0.025 mile ADDITIONAL savings on fuel adds $3,600 to THEIR BONUS " its not the only BONUS.

    You can call BS all you want I really do not give a HOOT about you or your NEGATIVE response to everything thats gets posted and you dislike.

    Look man .. Way I see it

    You got 2 guys who own a truck one of which has drivers ( you) and one that don't ( me )

    We say basically the same thing .. Lol

    Then you got guys who are using an abacus or roman calculus to try to disput our findings while not owning a single truck to my knowledge .. ( could be wrong on that )

    It does not take a scientist nor the concept of Pie or
    E=mc2

    To know that was an example !!!

    You are an extremist that will take a formulated example and create a extreme misjudgment of the true concept stated or ment ..

    If you run slower or at a higher mpg ... You make more money ..

    Swing it any way you want ... Count your toes , fingers , loafs of bread , health care cost , whatever you want to throw into it ...

    The outcome is the same my friend

    Don't believe me that's fine ... Someone else can chime in cause convincing you the different is a complete waste of time .. At this point

    Good luck to you
