I don't know if I would have used the tax deduction as an example....try and keep it simple for the audience....
.30 cpm includes wear and tear...you run out for .60 you pocket .30 per mile making double your cost per mile
I am amazed sometimes at myself and others that will criticize the local shop by charging 3 times their cost to operate while WE ourselves to that very thing...

It's kind of like watching the movie Fight Club. It's painful, to a degree, to watch. But you just can't stop watching.

Right now this is nothing compared to 2008, Steady Eddie and I did 2008 together....now that was a tough year! but we both managed to stay alive...
Some think it's bad now? 08 was the bottom out on auto freight. One customer save our butts that year.

BTW..2008 was the year of the first split dog.....
Oh, I remember 2008. But, I was still able to write a $13,000 check that year to pay off the van and become debt free. It took a lot of determination, beans and rice, rice and beans, no hot dogs, too expensive, but it was possible.

One of my trucks just got a $.71/mi run. An almost 1500 miles run. From a serious carrier.

we see that often from so called top carriers selling on the cheap....almost like believing in Jimmy Swaggert!!!
That's exactly the problem. No matter where you are someone always has an excuse why they will run cheap to be somewhere else. It creates a death spiral for rates. It always amuses me when someone comes on here and complains about bidding a stupid low rate and then acts shocked that someone underbid them beating them at their own game.
