I really am rootin for this guy to pull it off, but he needs to suck it up and maybe listen to a few of us. I've been driving for 13 years, I've dispatched, and I've been fooling around in a Brokerage since I was 17.

Steeve seems to listen to GMAN, maybe he needs to come in and tell him why $1.60 a mile really isn't that great.
I'm sure GMAN has better things to do than help a "know it all" newbie trucker. :wink:

I don't mind helping Steve or anyone else who asks. While I would not want to go to California for $1.60/mile, it isn't my business. Everyone needs to decide for themselves what they are willing to run for and where. I haven't run his numbers, but if he can consistently average $1.60/mile with deadhead and have the miles to go with it, he can probably come out on the money. He won't be getting rich, but he can survive. Keep in mind that rates are down right now. In Steve's case, he doesn't have big equipment payments to worry about. That in itself enables him to haul some loads others could not do, if you look at the expenses. I am sure that Steve will get better rates with time. There are a lot of more experienced owners who are hauling for much less.
