i would not be able to run a truck for the pay your offering, thats about what it cost to operate and break even, now thats just me talking, thier are people out thier that dont mind running to break even and live off deprecation of thier truck, but for me i think with the cost of fuel, tires, insurance, and the law finding some way to collect revenue from every truck stopped that what your offering is way to cheap, now again thats just me talking, if i knew it all i would be rich by now, have a good day
