Come July, I'll have owned this truck 14 years. In that 14 years I have spent $60,000 on repairs, $54,000 on parts, $27,000 on rebuilds, including a frame off body job, $14,000 on tires, $8,300 on wash jobs which include my trailer and usually an engine wash and $34,000 for the original purchase of the truck. That totals up to $197,000 over 14 years. An average of $14,092.86 per year. At my usual average of 75,000 actual miles per year, that is $.188 per mile, including the original purchase price. Not the $.20 per mile, just to maintain the truck. My fuel cost this last quarter, at 5.80 mpg, is $.64 per mile. My total cost per mile this last quarter, including groceries, rent, utilities and savings, was $1.76 per mile on all actual miles, not just loaded miles.
Can I make money on $1.80 per mile, too the truck? Yes, I can. Am I only going to seek out freight that pays $1.80? No, I am not. However, I will seriously consider the load paying a whopping buck fifty, after delivering a load paying me 3 bucks.Last edited by a moderator: Apr 1, 2013

Nothing is blown off, i seek deductions. Remember taxable gross! Then it becomes personal.

Have fretted the elkster on my way to portland, 18 times in the last 2.5 years. Oh yea the cabbage. Would not do it if it where not for great reconditioning plan. No better lab than those roads. 28 year old ride. Now thats trucking. I had 1 major cam roller turned on me on the #5 exhaust lobe in Oakley KS. Luckly a knowlegeable and honest shop! The roller is on the mantel as a reminder of what trucking is about! PS still on budget!
