Appreciate the insight

Do you have to keep a minimum dollar amount budgeted for breakdowns ?

Good question. In my operation around $250-300/week is sufficient and that comes out of my net revenue.

man you are in the wrong field, i tried it and it's hard nasty no money, the money you make you spend it back on the truck also the traffic, i live in houston going to the port is a hassle, get your authority is better, i can do houston to dallas one trip and make more money than you do in a hole week and if you do hazmat you can do better, you sound like a nice man, you working for peanuts

Your comment came at the perfect time. I spent 10 hours today sitting in docks. Not fun. I'm giving my company some grace because I ran for them up til intermodal went dead last year. I was making easy money with them but not pushing myself. Now that I want to push myself the right work isn't available. Thanks for the insight
