Geo, how far of a radius from your residence would you travel for work? It's my understanding there's a threshold of 500 mi that's considered "local". Beyond that .... unlimited radius.

What type of vehicle? Year, make & model? Unlimited radius? Driving history? What state do you live in? As mentioned lots of factors ... difficult to toss #s around .. What's the $1500 based on ..? Sent from my VS987 using EO Forums mobile app

Original post asked about Dodge Sprinters. All Sprinters whether they be Mercedes, Dodge or Freighter have Mercedes engines. All of them. I believe the link shows only Japanese manufactures .... ? Sent from my VS987 using EO Forums mobile app

No need to rush to his defense .. I know [emoji6] It was meant to be humorous .. Sent from my VS987 using EO Forums mobile app

Unfortunately, there may not be an abundance of information or advise on here concerning refrigerated vans (Sprinter, Transit, Pro Master, etc..) It's specialized equipment for this size unit. Not exactly what most of us need. Added weight & lack of customer base make it undesirable. Think...

The cost depends on many individual factors. Translation .... there is no normal. Also, quotes from a household auto insurance agent aren't going to be a good comparison. There's industry specific stuff they might not be aware of. Do a search on the forum for CIS, Commercial Insurance Solutions...

Hey, don't you have more important things to do other than read this tabloid? Didn't mean to ruffle your feathers ... The hypothetical .50 that I mentioned was ... All Miles for an individual owner/op over 1 yr. Not individual runs for any specific carrier. If you happen to DH a whole lot...

Whatever it is ..... .50 .... .60 .... .70 whatever .... if the profit is only .05 that equals $5,000 on 100,000 mi. Insanity imo. If I drive 100,000 you can bet I'm gonna make a bunch more than $5K. If I didn't I wouldn't be doing this ..

Well, yeah understood .... this isn't a commentary or discussion about CRE. It's about individual owner/ops & how we each run our individual businesses. Whatever carrier anyone is with, it's not up to them to make sure you're profitable with the decisions you make.

Slightly above average? Let me rephrase .... borderline meaningless ...

Thanks for the reply & the honesty. We have a difference of opinion ... & that's cool. IMO there is no ambiguity when it comes to money & profitability. It's black or white. We all DH for better load position at times ... but to run for a loss is absolutely absurd imo. Why run at a loss when you...

Ok, that's true .... but, I'll ask ... are you guys even profitable? I've done this long enough & I know all the costs involved. With all the DH miles .. seriously, have you ever analysed your All Miles Rate? I can't imagine it's more than .50 per mi. At that point, it's simply a waste of time &...

I've posted this comment before .... oh, well .... Turnover is never talked about by carriers. Do any carriers, large or small, keep this statistic? If I was a carrier, even a small one, I would. I think it's indicative of how healthy your business is. And if I were applying to a carrier, I...

Maybe image took a back seat to getting the shipment delivered in a timely manner. Would you rather receive your package a day late by a guy in uniform?

I personally haven't read anything that says to get rid of the anthem at games. I'm glad I live in a small town that not only salutes the flag under the Friday night lights ... but also still says a prayer. Our daughter is a senior .. on the marching band. I don't get to attend enough games...
