I try not to get in these whizzing matches, but you set me off!!!!

It doesn't get personal, until it affects my earning ability.
You hurt the industry, by promoting and defending a low rate environment.

You are no friend to the O/O.

If you are a recruiter, my apologies...
It is my understanding that recruiters control this board.

If you are a driver, you could get a good raise by selling out and going to work on a company truck.

Yet, as the above comments show, this is likely an exercise in futility.

BTW, I am doing a round-trip PO dry van move for $2.91 a mile, tomorrow.

"Not too many drivers know that time is a major factor, as well."

I guess im one of the stupid ones. After months of study my expenses look to be $1.17 (I own my own truck and trailer)

Thank you, no.
I'm not interested in investing the time in researching you.
I would be happy to read about you, in a current post, though.
Or, Post a link to your website.
I would take a look at that.

I still stand by the $1.70 per mile Cost, to run a truck.
It has to include enough to take care of you, your equipment, your family, their health care, their dental care and your retirement.

BTW, I used to work a lot of hours, every week.
I've lost interest in working that much.

You asked if I was a recruiter and I am. I recruit drivers who want to be business men and I put them in trucks using my authority that they can earn the title to. I still stand by it doesnt take $1.70 per mile to run a truck and pay driver wages, health care, etc. You base this on your situation. Your RGN situation is not the norm and you probably havent been at this long enough to really understand revenue, cost or profit. Because if you did you would know that everyones revenue, cost and profit are different and it doesnt take $1.70 per mile to run flat, van , reefer to be profitable.

Everyone should ignore the rgn, and use the $1.70.
I know it will never happen, though.

Drivers were making more money, 10 years ago, than they are today.

There is a long term downward spiral in the quality of life in trucking. I suspect the same is true across other industries, as well.
That points to a much bigger issue, and is beyond the scope of this discussion.

Your divers, out of ignorance, make you money.
You contribute to the problem,

You are not my friend.

Morons like you perpetuate the propaganda. I make an investment in trucks, trailers, buildings, tools, office staff, computers, software, my sanity and other things to help deserving people make a living in trucking. I come here to relax and learn from other people in the industry and then here comes dumb ash #2 talking BS. It doesnot take $1.70 pm to run ALL trucks and you arent my friend either. When you need a job, dont call me, call JB.
