Most of it came from running 90 miles loads paying 500 dollars a pop. I am averaging about a buck eighty a mile.

I just did some quick calculations. I think your numbers are off a bit. If you are averaging $1.80/mile with $8,400 in revenue, that means that you have run 4,666 miles in one week? At 5 mpg, you would have used 933 gallons of fuel. Did I miss something? Are you saying that you spend $1,000 in fuel or bought 1,000 gallons? I don't see how you could have run that many miles pulling 90 mile freight. Perhaps you could clarify this for us?
