What did you pay for gas?!?!?!?!!?

[PROTEINSHAKE]

Wah Wah

[Obs]

Try filling up a semi with 100 gallons when your getting 7 mpg at 3$ pg.
I can't see how anything can be freighted anymore.

[Booz]

.........................................

[RuhlFreak55]

Yeah but the minimum wage is 2x more here...and not EVERYthing is more expensive...most stuff is though.

I just can't see the logic behind the "your country is small therefore gas is expensive" argument

you can't use enough as a country to warrant your gov't finding good prices....bulk = cheaper price........

Yeah, uh...you got it.....I'm going to discontinue this conversation because if I continue to try and argue with your incredible grasp of the workings of the international oil markets and pricing I'm going to end up banned.

[RuhlFreak55]

I beg to differ. Trucking company's can be very profitable.

When I was in London I went to that club- Fabric. I bought a LI Iced Tea and it was like $18 USD after the conversion. Clubbing in the UK is more expensive than buying a hooker.

[BITTAPART2]

[paulzane]

Don't forget the US gallon and the UK gallon are different quantities

1. trucking companies make huge cash for one reason they charge you 100 dollars to haul something, but they have thousands of things that they are hauling so they make good money in each trip, way more than gas costs...we have things freighted daily and i get the bills and i know a few drivers that do very very well..
2. gas prices are going to keep going up for a while so dont expect the war to cause them to drop anytime soon... Canada is the 4th largest producer of oil and gas but we asell it to the states and buy it back that is why it is cheaper in the US than anywhere else, cause they control the market...the reason it is cheaper in the middle east is cause you dont need thre refining process like we do over here...

[nyjetsfan86]

saw gas today for $3.17 and directly across the street it was $2.95 thats
f-ed up

[G-1000]

Go look at some porn and beat off.

[donniebrasco]

^^^^ yes sir.

[RuhlFreak55]

you don't make jack as a drive hauling freight....the only way to make serious money in the trucking industry is either haul household or something like exotic cars.....no question....my dad's been a trucker for 25 years...i know

As a driver no but as an owner operator you can make great money, especially in the construction industry. There are so many ways to make money in trucking if you know what you're doing.

the only way i know to make serious money (90,000 plus) in the trucking industry is hauling household.....i dunno about this construction business but you gotta make more than you do with freight

My dad makes 72,000$ yearly be 4 taxes. He hauls milk. He works his ass off. To most people thats not much money, but to us retarded rednecks its doing alright.

I beg to differ. Trucking company's can be very profitable.

Trucking companies that are very large are extremely profitable. Owner operators, at least until they get their truck/trucks paid 4, on the average dont make squat. 90% of the owner operators make barely above 35,000
once their expenses are figured.

I don't know 2 much about hauling freight and those types of trucking companies but I do know about trucking companies regarding construction material like dirt, sand, stone and debris from demolition. Dump trailers for hire bring in $900.00 a day for hire plus tolls, if you get paid by the load and bang out 4 or 5 loads a day you can bring in about $1200.00 to $1500.00 a day. If you hustle and know people who can use clean fill you can charge people to take away clean fill from excavation jobs and bring it to the people that need it and dump it for free.
