    And, I'm certain you've learned over time, that if you dont wanna and don't, that the soup on the table gets pretty thin pretty soon. Trying to get em to look at where they may be going south. It all ain't fun.

    So, I guess MY math is off. But seems to me that the one you wanted to run wuz 750 total miles for $900, be $1.20 per mile, or $.186 per driver per mile. Much better I guess. The point i'm trying to make to the ones struggling is, don't let your don't wannas, get in the way of the...
