I bought my truck a year ago yes my costs to run my semi has increased my fuel went from being 1200-1500 max every week to 2800-3000 every week I had to change up my whole style of running but I adjusted thankfully I have some good relationships with brokers so when rates initially tanked I was able to maintain 2.40-2.50 a mile I’ve switched companies so I could move even smarter. It’s just the name of the game it’s either sink or swim 🤷🏾 adjust or get left behind

The DEF system is tow truck companies dream. A tow truck driver told me their business more than double because of this system. So make sure you set money aside for the system to fail because if your truck has it, it's gonna happen. I drive for a trucking company and there're always issues with the DEF systems...ex regin/filter issues, parts go bad, exhaust leaks etc...and running out of DEF is like running out of fuel.

Great observation. Normally a driver would but we don't use our truck money to pay insurance. Our truck is paid for , and whatever is left over after the bills we pay, half of it goes into the truck savings. As far as insurance, we receive commissions from various sources and our insurance comes out of one of those each month so we don't factor it into our truck expenses.

Hi there , the first thing is check your filters for how your searching. In DAT we use SG, V , VG and VW. Second thing is negotiating with them like you know what your talking about. Never sound timid (not saying you do but what helps is having a loadboard like DAT pro which tells you the average rate per mile in that area. The sad thing is brokers know that some will move that freight for cheap so they hold out until they have to get that load moved You can always schedule time with us for a strategy call calendly.com/boxtruckcouple
