Response: : AB Have Annual SK $10.00 ND $40.00 SD $45.00 IA $35.00 MO $28.00 Comes out to $158.00 for permits
Driver is 45 cents a mile
Fuel is 95 cents a mile
Insurance is 10 cents a mile
Maintainance is 10 cents a mile
which totals $2718.00 per load operating costs and my truck has to profit something i could do $3100.00 per load but thats the best i can do

Response: the only coast for permit is $20.00 for ND all the other states are excepted for hay hauling because of th drought that is 100% fact so $2800 is very fair and the loads going back to canada pay very well..

Response: : Well i would have to check on the exemption cause i know its only in a few states so your asking us to haul your hay for cost plus a hundred bucks? Do you run your business to break even or make a profit my friend? There is a reason thete is only one bid on this hay because the rate is not high enough sir, and loafs to Canada have dtop in rate by a dollar a mile in the last six months so they dont pay nearly what you might think they do

Response: not paying over 2800.00 that is a fair rate but thanks

Response: So what are looking looking to pay by the ton for the trucking from here. $145 to $150 per ton?? (no that is a crazy rate) i would pay 115 per ton
9/3/2012
Response: : 115 times 20 ton is 2300 you just said you would pay 2800 which is 140 a ton i haul lots out of cereal and those are 1200 lb bales my friend better check your math
9/3/2012
Response: feller you better check your math 24 tons x 116.6 = 2800 so 34 bales x 1450 is 49,300 and a deere 567 will make at least that in pure alfalfa
9/3/2012
Response: : Cant haul more than 48000
