Any one can throw around per mile rates. So many variables.Reefers Flats Vans all have benefits and disadvantages.Depends on what one wants to do.The extra work involved with each be it tarping or laying over or having to run hard for asap delivery all has to be considered.Bottom line is net revenue in a given time frame.

Ever wonder why the fuel at the Pilot/Flying J etc... is 3.60 a gallon but the diesel at the local Shell station is 3.25? I'd like to know the answer to that but I think I know.

I was making the 5 to 7k a week on 26-3200 miles,.. as of late 3000 miles is only bringing in about48-5400 a week. I use to easily make 67-7400 on 3000 miles, some weeks I was at 79 or even 8100 on 3200 miles, plus the increase in fuel is increasing my expense the rates are flat. I have no major expense other then fuel and maintenance. All equipment is paid. ( Ill admit I was very frustrated and pissed when I created the post, and the initial responses did not help At ALL. but the later posts have been very sensible and I am willing to admit its really not as bad as I felt it was when I created the post. I did take one members advice and am now positioning myself in a different area of the county)
thank you to all, even the not so nice response.just_sayin, kemosabi49, gokiddogo and 11 others Thank this. -
