$4/mi is where my buyers say "nope, that is too high". I am not a hay buyer or a trucker, I just need to make buyers happy enough to buy.
I am sure the excuse list is long for truckers but if the load/unload takes an extra hour, an extra 50 bucks should pay for that. Min fuel used, NO tire wear, etc. I loaded the last guy in 1 hr.
