Long story since I have never been to a Detroit Casino. Here is my post to give into the Blackmail of the so called photos. Opps last time I ever saw a Detroit Casino, I helped push Marks, Mother (known him since K-Garden) out the back door both of us giving her $10.00 so we could go watch the Hockey game and come back and get her afterwards. She won thousands on our $10.00 gifts and did not share a dime. At least the Wings won.
This Post is suppost to be about fuel MPG and not Gambling (by the way). This has been one of those great weeks, lucky at the right place right time and my turn. Add the fact that I have had more than enough time to drive 55 spending countless extra hours behind the wheel vs 65. @ 47.00 an hour for my X-tra time not a bad wage, almost as good as one of the big 3.
Here is the difference though, at $2.80 a gallon time was more valuable than the savings or was it? At $4.61 the difference in a 650 mile run doing 7.5 or much better (Tractor Trailer) vs doing 6.5 on this particular load was the difference of 20 gallons X 4.65= $93.00 that I would have other wise given to the Arabs. Do this five tiimes week, utilize the FSC to your advantage and your fuel costs are FREE. I hate what its doing to the Economy but look what its doing for or could be doing for us PAYING ALL OF OUR FUEL and buying us lunch. How? SLOW DOWN really SLOW DOWN, look into any and every anti Ideling device, Centramatics, maybee Airtabs, Synthetic Oil, Align your front Axle, proper Air Pressure. The savings are there and in todays cost of fuel, turn this around to work for you. The math works just as well for straight trucks % is different but the Savings are REAL.
Listen to Kevin on XM I am preching some of the things he talks about, he is a Great Business Counselor to help you keep what you make.
Remember this: IT IS NEVER WHAT YOU GROSSED only WHAT YOU TAKE HOME, do not confuse Gross with take home, and do not forget most of all that you only take home what is left over after all expenses. Otherwise we would all be rich, that $160,000 gross in a year looks great until after you pay out everything and than look at your Tax return and see an income of $29,000 and wonder what happened? The secret is to keep double or triple that, AND BE HAPPY TO PAY THE TAX MAN cause you made a PROFIT. That is the reason you are selfemployed is it not? TO MAKE A PROFIT. Not to be spending just to lower your taxes as paying taxes insures you are making a profit. Good luck and SLOW DOWN more and more O/O are doing it and some are even Astounished at the resulsts in the checkbook and are realizing they can keep ole Truck after all.
