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.US MARINE Thanks this. -
US MARINE said: ↑RickG said: ↑Not completely cause the 3.0 hours ( including pit stops)you got there earlier probablly cost you .. 60.00-80.00 in fuel ( slightly inflated )
But at least 50.00
The slow truck drive the same miles broke 1 hr earlier down the road and you both arrive at consignee on time
Truck A has 10.75 hours to drive
Truck B has. 10.00 hrs ( maybe 9.75)
But as to you effect on 70 hrs your right but at roughly 3.0 hours per load in which prob 1.5 of it is against your 70 for a 50-60 savings in fuel alone not to mention ( maint , etc )
I'll take that ...Click to expand...Click to expand...
I did the math....
And the graphs show with YOUR numbers, you loose money at 60 mph. -
Do you own a calculator ?
-
mine works better than yours obviously....

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 ) -
then please show me where my math is wrong using YOUR numbers.
It's not.
You loose money the way YOU put it out there. -

Mine computes real numbers -
I already did sir ;
I'll let flatbed back it up with numbers and then you'll have 2, -
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
