Does it matter? He asked a question, and I answered it. I don't see you posting your numbers here......

Why does everyone think that HHG is some sort of mystical place that shouldn't be discussed in public? At the end of the day, I do the same thing that every other freight hauler does. I simply do it differently.

My sister got 3 quotes to move her 1200 miles and all 3 came up with the same quote of $3,000. That price includes the truck, trailer, fuel,packing and unpacking. Seems like maybe some rates are being over inflated here.

Any other statements you'd like to make about things you know nothing about? :roll:

If you hire Two Men and a Truck of course it is going to be cheaper. If you hire a professional it is going to cost you.

Nope, the quotes were from Mayflower, United and Allied. Looks like someone else's 1099 from Wausau, WI Rev. You live in Green Bay, WI.

Obviously, you have a reading comprehension problem. Graebel Van Lines is located in Wausau. At least their accounting department is. :roll:

Rev. V, don't you think it's funny how people act when you actually answer a question? My standard answer is 'not near enough' b/c people want to question it if I actually tell them.

I would answer the question, but I have a trailer, so it doesn't apply to me.

I think Steve is just irritated because I don't accept his partial numbers as being correct. The only way to get your true per-mile revenue rate is to include ALL miles, loaded and empty. Steve ignores the empty miles. I use them all - all 54,941 of them.

I'm sure that next he'll come here and say I edited my 1099 to make it appear as if I earned more than I did. :roll:

OK Rev, thanks for sharing. U R totally up front, but how much time are you loading and unloading. I hear some guys here even groaning about having to tarp a flatbed. I think unloading a moving van every few days would get old. Bill
