Subject: Cheap trucking


.14*950 = $133/load

$133/60 = $2.22/loaded mile

Figuring that guy is probably hauling 60 miles w/ $2.80 diesel, sitting in line a couple hours and deadheading it back, that is half a day for $133. I'd take that in a heartbeat, as you can combine the whole time. That trucker is just covering costs, if that, but that is how trucking works. Probably cheaper than if you were hauling to town yourself and sitting around while the combine sat, or payed someone to haul it and sit in line.
