And, once again, Rev taking a right turn when confronted. Oh my God, how can I evade this. Wait, I'll change the subject, ya, that's it. Maybe I'll cook some chili and post how it came out better, ya, that will work.

I am still waiting, however, for you to explain why what state you fuel in matters less to someone with their own authority than someone operating under someone else's authority. Of all the ridiculous things you've stated over the past 2 years, that one is near the top of the list. |

IMO that is a large reason he is able to make a go of it....he has no need to come back into his home base every week every Friday and take a revenue hit every Monday with a crappy paying outbound load. Other reason is all his equipment is paid for up front. Another reason is he's pulling a flat. Another reason is he's fairly determined. If he had a wife and 2 kids, a house to fix and a lawn to mow, and he was pulling a van out of NH every Monday, it may not be so pretty. But we all know that. It's been well documented. |

Actually, it looks like even with $.15/mile depreciation, you would come out a little ahead of me. I also forgot to include that it costs me $10-$20 every time I cross the border. I agree about the home time thing. Coming home costs money. Alot of it. Unless you live OH. |

I guess it doesn't matter where you live, you will take a beating in some form either getting back home or getting out. I live in NH and it's hard to get to Detroit but once in Detroit, it's easy to get to NH so I don't think there is a magic bullet. I just plugged in the numbers for a new truck, trailer and higher insurance. The new truck and trailer would require a hefty loan. Maybe that's the difference. That would take a HUGE chunk of change out of my left over cash. I may be fine for 3 years or whatever the warranty is for major problems but I would have to RUN and KEEP running. Let me say this again to everyone. I do not have a wife (anymore), kids are grown, no mortgage although hefty taxes, no bills, no car payment, health insurance is $338 per month for BCBS PPO. Here are my personal bills Property taxes phone electric/heat cable food gas car ins health ins Can a single person with bills like mine make it right out of the gate. HELL YES and live well. Could Rank do it? HELL NO!!!!!!! HUGE difference. I figure I'm close to maybe the lower middle of the class in what I do and what I make and doing pretty good. I also think I have plenty of room to improve but right now I have the luxury of taking my time and no pressure to move up the ladder quicker. I have a plan and will be trying it out this time out. It has one weak link in the chain but will give it a shot. If it works it will give me 5 days at home every month and 3 days down time while on the road. It also increases my left over cash per week by over $500. |

You use the same tactics on everyone when cornered by either answering a question with a question and avoiding the answer or resorting to name calling. Once again you are avoiding the absolute resolution to the problem now that you've been given the challenge. So I'll wait, but I'm sure it will be forever as I'm use to your tactics. So people this is the way it will go. He will not do the worksheet, give some lame post with his own demands then run away. |
Chili pics (they didn't turn out very good, the pics that is, I'm not much of a photog)
