    What are the increasing ongoing costs of software thats already got the framework built?

    Its why car companies constantly change things year to year, come out with too many new models.

    Unfortunately humans tend to value novelty over reliability

    With the price of everything else not going up at all lately, I was shocked to get this email.

    Really?! LOL

    What's $26 these days for an independent grossing 10K per week?

    You should be leaving at least $20 tips in showers for those poor people cleaning them for you.

    I see the point in physical goods increasing in price, but software OUGHT to diminish or stay stable (if increases exist, small and gradually) over time. Subscription based things are to be viewed with great suspicion ESPECIALLY if its software.

    Monthly bills add up to annual expenses.

    I gross 12k a week.

    I thought it was 12K when you were lazy but when mobilized did you not say about 15K?
    Anyways, you can go down two tiers lower - not much different than the one you want to downgrade to with OOIDA you can get a discount too (maybe 5 dol) that's a whopping 30-40 dol less than the pro.

    Depends on spot rates. I can do 15k during the produce season and hauling spring plants. Right now I am doing 12.5k a week.

    Good for you! At this rate, you can retire a millionaire in a couple of years....I always knew I should've bought a reefer.
