not busting on you, I'm busting on the tolls up here.
Harbor Tunnel..... 12.00
Susquehanna.......30.00
DE.....................9.00
(Don't know your route after that)
I go around the nine dollar toll in DE. I'm a real desperado.
You should have stopped by, could have thrown a few Kielbasa on the grill.

ok.... back on topic...... sorry. I have a thing about tolls.

Rev...I knew it was coming.

Come on RostyC even with the tolls he made out $2049 on 909 miles and he probably went up there because he knew he had a load out. If you go to the Northeast w/o a load out, you have 2 choices, leave empty or leave cheap. I've done both. He isnt going back to Wytheville empty so even if he deadheaded to a better area w/in 300-400 miles he was still profitable assuming Rev hasnt added a Legacy sleeper and customized the Lincoln.

Even if I would have had all those tolls, I wouldn't have been at $1.85. It would have knocked me from $2.31 per mile to $2.255 per mile.

I really think you took my post the wrong way. It was not at all intended to be a criticism of Rev, it was just when I read it the first thought that went through my head was going up I95 and the tolls associated with it. A bit off topic. I had only half a cup of coffee at that point also. Sorry for the confusion.

Resume discussion.

The only thing, that's really counts (for me anyway...), it's your yearly average, for all hub miles run. If i could double my cost per mile, i'm considering doing good.

I agree and so does the Revenue Service.

Always be polite!!!! I cant stress that one enough.

I am always polite. I have heard many people who have told me that it is the owner operators who are hauling all the cheap freight. I think it is as much of more of the larger carriers who are taking the cheap loads. I would think that you would have more who will back door with the current economy than usual.
