I used to drive one of the Penskes... I could carry six 45x48 pallets, but rarely did... the trucks 2007 and older were 10,000 gvwr so werent subject to DOT... 2007 and newer are 12,300 gvwr for the same size truck.. I was properly insured just like all the others that ran for my carrier...so...
oh believe me i know... ive been doing this 4 years now... have any of you ever seen an environment like this.. and it gets better?... im trying to stay positive
3000 miles x .65= $1,950
150 gallons of gas at 20 miles per... at say avg 1.70 a gallon is $255
$1,950 - $255 = $1,695
and fuel is wasy cheaper in some parts... maybe they are actually killin it
I started doing this 4 years ago... I always got $1 - $1.25 including fuel... in the last 5 weeks ive only gotten 2 loads.. for $1.. i ask dispach wtf is going on, they tell me guys are running for .50/.60.. paying for gas and everything out of that..
