    it has been researched that it costs $1.62 a mile to operate the average truck anything less i would consider cheap freight

    most owner operators are now just working for a paycheck most are not making a profit

    $1.62 permile seems a little high to me.
    I run HH /OD and my cost runs around $1.59 permile all in
