I agree,that is what really matters. However there are carriers that don't haul hazmat or tanker and don't have the expense of 5k tanker equipment and pay over 1.18 a mile. Not by much,but with hauling tankers I would think the rates would be much higher. Have you looked into Quality Carriers? A couple of guys claimed to do really well there on their percentage deal,but if you are happy with where you are now than more power to you. What you do with your truck or how much you haul for is your business,but don't expect not to be criticized on an open forum when you bring those kind of numbers up. ESPECIALLY "over there". :lol: Dana Transport? :?

Didn't have a welcomed visit,did you? :lol: I've visited that site over the past ten years....at one time it was good, even enjoyable, as well as informative.....not any more. Like I said... its a "snakepit" rife with malcontents, losers, fakes....and disaffected wannabe's. I've often thought that certain of the "poster's" were just inmates in a psycho ward who had internet access. Back when Bedspread and Ziggy were on the site....we used to have some fun....had some hellacious rows and conversations....but the difference between now and then...."they" actually could and would back up their claims with verifiable fact. They did not attack on a personal basis, and all in all....it was actually a good source for "solid information". Not now....pretty much a group of "I'm better, smarter, yada, yada types" that make bold statements but mysteriously run like little girls chased by a snake when put to the wall to back up their guff. Trust me....not going there is no sweat off my ass. I rather prefer using my time "productively" doing things that are beneficial to me or those around me. Life is too short to waste it on stupid and ugly people. 8)

QUALITY CARRIERS?? Uh, no....not on your life, even if you bought the truck and let me keep all of the revenue. You apparently haven't spoken to the same O/O's I have. Can you say "bottomfeeder"? I'll let it go at that.
Dana/Suttles....probably ok. Don't know too much about them...they are kinda low profile and rarely do I see their drivers except occasionally. I'll be a nice guy and sort something out for you... when Cyanide says he makes $1.18 a mile.....he is arriving at that figure based on every inch that tractor moves....each and every last inch is included. He's not counting just revenue producing miles and deadhead miles to tankwashes and terminals, he's including the miles he puts on the tractor no matter where he goes. Got it? 8) Whats interesting about Superior Carriers....is that we have IC's (O/O's) who have been leased on to the company for 20 or more years. Every one of them that I have spoken to is happy, making a good living, and driving tractors I would love to drive.... There's got to be a reason..... and its simple: They make a darn good living here at Superior, as do we company drivers. 8)

We here at Superior Carriers know what kind of place we work. I almost don't wanna tell people about us because someone might Fuk it up. I have not talked to ONE SINGLE DRIVER who was unhappy with Superior Carriers. Thats a pretty bold statement in Truckin. Thank you Skywalker and Cyanide. I owe both of you guys lunch and dinner every time I see you 8)

Balance that with all operating costs associated with owning the truck and what do you have left?
