All I'm saying is that even experienced drivers wreck. Besides, for the most part, companies that haul tankers, especially fuel, normally require experienced drivers. The main word there is NORMALLY.

I also can't see taking loads which have no profit. You are better off staying at home and parking the truck. At least when you go broke you will be home.
The last time I asked how L/O. L/P, even O/O can haul for 90 cents plus FSC, it caused a bit of amusement here. I do a trip envelope for every run so I do have a clue about operational costs. Sometimes I don't know what the trip paid and I don't know if the trucks are paid for. But variable expenses, fuel, tolls, tires now and then, etc, etc, plus my pittance often hit a buck a mile. I must be missing something? :?: |
