Hardly anyone will sit down and figure out THEIR ACTUAL cost per mile, Grizzly My 13th year, and I only bothered this year. I think, because of a convo I was having with you Easy to ignore when you can't even handle the loads you're being offered, but essential right now Edit: I'll add...

That was AFTER the oven cleaner...

Who am I kidding. I am personally offended at taking a backhaul rate when I know the carrier didn't. There I said it Hi carrier. Yes I found another company to stuff my van at full rate, when you refuse to :tearsofjoy: :tongueclosed: (Somebody there reads my posts. I used to get a run nearly...

Gotta be real careful nowadays running the newer vans without paying the running cost, and future replacement imo I do know I wouldn't even be able to do what I'm doing with a newer van. That era is over I think It's been really hard to wrap my head around it, but I really think it's sometimes...

I'm going to attempt it myself as soon as motivation strikes

Hey, take locals. Then you don't have to worry about any of it I do every local I can

I can't stand multiple shipments (but it's worth it) Ontario to B.C. for approx $3000, 2500 miles...3000 lb machine I got a hunch I wouldn't make it

Lol I was just on Uship

I don't go farther than 1000 miles anymore. If I was in Laredo I don't know what I'd do. Good point Deandhead to TN SC GA? How many vans sitting :p

Basically I've been lurking on the tractor forums where this issue is being beaten to death It degenerates into people who take less per mile than it costs to run, in the belief that short paying is better than paying nothing at all on their bills Personally in the situation you describe, I'd...

Probably 1.40ish, bit still, close enough :p

I completely agree with you, if it was actual trucking - where you could do that silly triangular lane thing and average out ok. But there is about 99% more freight pushing the price in that instance. I'd like to keep EXPEDITE rates, well EXPEDITE a little longer. Once Amazon figures itself...

I sure as hell hope so, since as far as I can tell it costs $1.60 a mile to operate that truck

Well said blizzard2014 Basically your taking the freight at 20c above running cost, sets that price for the future. We've all experienced our companies asking for a favor, then expecting it, if we do it once. Last week it was more to do with an appointment but yes I drove 1000 miles home...

Finally found a couple places willing to work with me, backhauls or runs as I desire. I'm out of fuel money and blew out my injector seals :tearsofjoy: Such is life...

20c per mile net? I didn't want to say anything :tearsofjoy: I remember being single too

I don't remember giving you my Dodge van ...

Public saftey message Don't fall asleep in your van with the doors and windows shut when the temp is projected to be 90 degrees I'm not acclimated yet, got heatstroke - but it means summer is coming...

Boredom over. (Actually I was sleeping every chance I got after Halifax) That old staple West Virginia, comes up everytime there's a Canadian holiday...

I came from the north, down a mountain, and saw it lit up at night - simply beautiful I expected something from an old western too :tearsofjoy: Modern city with some truly huge warehouses...
