Two coworkers of mine run trucks. One has 9. Same thing you said. Barely breaking even. If you figure in west and tear on the truck, it’s a loss.
The other guy only has one and got hooked up with a dispatcher that has contracted loads with one company so it’s steady. He’s doing fine.

We currently run 45 tractors and 174 trailers. So far we've been lucky with company freight and we're anywhere from 2.85-3.40 on dry vans. We have several flat and steps, but they're normally contracted through NASA or Toyota/Mazda. There's also a brokerage that runs along side our company freight, and the rates have been low to say the least.
Today the brokerage was offered a 3 pick - 3 drop for $1600 originating in south Florida, followed by NC, then TN. If I remember correctly it was roughly 1100 miles. Definitely a pass on that one.
