Well, like they say, the devil is in the details. Probably the reason so many truckers go out of business. They keep taking cheap loads and eventually the truck depreciation and maintenance catches up with them.
The way I look at it, if I haul freight for only enough profit to buy food and pay for the fuel, I'm just a homeless person, living in a truck with enough dignity to go through life without begging for food.
