I'm only out for : Fuel Tax , Physical Damage , NTL ( bobtail ) Prepass

And they are considering paying the Prepass before long ..

For tractor only, that isn't too shabby.

Take your cost per mile , then DIVIDE by .79 that will give you the LEAST amount of $ you can operate for and survive and make some PROFIT.

Tractor only : yes
general liability = paid
cargo = paid
phys damage 34.50 ( week ) 1,000 ded
NTL $5.54 ( week )
maint = I pay
fuel tax = I pay
2290 = I pay
pre pass = I pay
plate = paid
permits = paid
tolls = paid
scales = paid
Logbooks = paid
trip pack = paid
Qualcomm ( no fee ) = paid

Pay = average 1.57 ( includes roughly everything ) 1.14 base is 0.37 FSG ( current ) I think it may hit 0.38 this week as fuel is rising possibly even 0.39 but it's off the DOE . so if that's the case and it hits 0.39 I'd be around 1.59 ( base plus FSG plus bonus 0.04 ) and 1.63 if Haz .

I'm figuring 0.02 for Plate , Permits , Scales , Tolls , so I could be a little off I've heard people say that just the plate alone is worth 1.6-1.8 cpm and we have to scale most all loads ( 41,000 - 43,000 ) so that 9.50 adds up if you pull 3-4 loads a week or even just 2 it's 19.00 that's not counting a re-weigh if needed . I guess I'm saying I could be a little conservative on the 0.02 but I'm not sure .

I get the bonus every 6 months it's paid on ALL Miles ..

Im trying to think of anything else but can't except I get paid 30.00 after 3 and a layover ( rare ) pays 250.00 every 24 .

I've looked at the load boards and have saw loads paying 1.85-2.30 gross but when you figure in the percentage your at roughly 1.58-1.65 but you pay for everything I mentioned plus you eat the deadhead . Which I understand in some markets is minimal depending on where you are .
Percentages I've saw range from 65% to 87% but the higher percentage you also end up paying the general liability or cargo or both and must have a trailer.. So I'm not sure as to what's best mileage or percentage

This is just my case .. I understand the guy getting 0.90 plus fuel it's not debateable what's best but I'm roughly 0.24 better off or in some cases 0.26 or 0.30 per mile if I'm Haz mat ( throw the bonus out ) with it is 0.34 .. That's at 0.90 some leases I've seen 0.95 to 0.98 Ive saw 1.00 ( few ) most pay higher rate loaded - lower rate empty like 0.95 loaded 0.90 empty etc .

Again I'm just trying to compare if my lease is decent or if it would benefit me to go percentage and when I say benefit I mean in VAN and at least 0.10-0.15 which could be up to 12,000-15,000 per year raise .. But then again you got to buy plate, etc .. So I'm torn

US Marine,
could you tel me who your leased on with or pm me

Thanks

No mileage contract is a good mileage contract, IMO.
