February was a great month and another month with some big changes. Listen to the podcast to hear all about what it going on.

January was another pretty good month. Mike was on the road more days than ever before, and you can see he was able to get in a pretty good number of miles. Listen to the episode to hear all the details.

December was a great way to end a very challenging year; it was one of our best months of the year. Numbers all looked really good and there wasn’t much out of the ordinary happening. Listen to the episode to hear all the details.

I want to go back to an average month, Novembers are not very kind to me. We had some issues in November and experienced our second month with a loss. It was a bit of a perfect storm, a lot of things happened. Listen to the episode to hear all the details.

Another average month. Revenue was actually higher than normal, but net income was about average. There were some higher expenses than normal. We’ll go into some of the details.

In addition to talking about financials, we talk about adding a truck. I’m about 90% sure I am going to do it, so I have started to look for another truck, trailer, and driver. Craig and I talk a bit about that.

Another month gone by and it was a unique month, we get into why. We also answer a couple questions from listeners at the end of the episode.

Things seem to be getting better and better as the months go by, but I we are clearly not out of the woods yet. July was better than June and the freight market seems to continue to move in the right direction. Rates toward the end of the month were better than the beginning of the month.

We’re still experiencing the roller coaster ride of a tough economy and a volatile freight market. With that being said, we still made money in June, it just wasn’t much. Like my dad always says, “It’s better than a swift kick in the butt.” The biggest difference this month that really affected our financials were much higher than normal maintenance and repair expenses.

May was much better than April, in fact, we were able to turn a healthy profit. The freight market was better than April, but still unstable. It seems hit and miss. One day an area of the country has decent rates and a few days later the same area crashes and rates go bad. With that being said, rates on a whole are definitely improving.
