120 i used as a figure for running a long distance(48 states) hard as you talked about which is change compared to all these expenses, i did not know you run dirt right?, as you have not reported that in your previous post...
Did not report that he was a dirt hauler :roll: , read his post again, that is what I got out of it. Let me give you some clues:
1. Construction trucking games
2. Talked to a guy that used to be a dirt hauler.
3. We talked about the ups and downs about dirt hauling.
I know he did not come out and say "I AM A DIRT HAULER AMERICA" I think if you would have read his post and used your brain you would have figured it out before you told him he didn't need to be in the business. I did not think he was a chicken hauler from reading his post.
I don't think you need to be in the business. He might have grossed 120,000 this year, he might have only drove 30,000 miles to do that. I think that would been a good deal, don't you.

"Do Not Trust" dont believe what some truck driver told you over a cup of coffie.
Why should he believe you over this other guy. How do you know what broker he used, maybe this broker pays every 30 days. Have you hauled wallboard out of Vegas? Run Ca, AZ and NV with a flat. Sounds like to me you had two friends that done it and couldn't handle it, or was this a couple of truckers telling you this over coffee, I could be wrong but this is what I am getting from your post. You don't think a flatbed O/O can gross $240,000 a year? I guess if he wanted to work hard enough he could. I will do a little over $198,000 this year and did not work that hard. FYI, use Spell Check.
