[QUOTE="chaffcutter, post: 6626512, member: 500"] Agree with [USER=978]@Derky[/USER], and [USER=78]@Spud[/USER] that’s just how it was with us, started with one to move our own grain to store when we were ‘between yards’ and only had a small store, then we were asked to do some local loads, then more and ended up with ten bulkers and some flat trailers on fert haul. Working for big merchants who paid on time it was great for cash flow, but repair bills, running empty for lack of enough back loads from the north west mills, and the big thing that a lot of owner drivers forget about, depreciation, killed the job. Over the 12 years we were doing it the price of derv almost doubled. Grain and anything else you can carry in a TASCC registered trailer are the rock bottom rates too. [/QUOTE]
