Hi just wanted to know if an offer of $1.12 per mile is a good rate of pay when fuel cost have to also come out of this rate. Shouldn't it be a fuel surcharge added and not straight out take fuel cost out? Oh yea the load is for Fema
Is this a good rate?

Run away from this rate unless you want to run into being broke real quick....is this load through a broker that is doing FEMA work?

A truck owner offered me this to drive containers from Ala. to Jersey. I would pretty much be sure that it's coming through a broker.

In your opinion what would be the best offer to make from my position.
-
well if your driving his truck and only paying fuel, you can break it down
figure at 6 m/gal 1000 miles would pay you 1120 dollars will fuel rates your looking somwhere around 650 dollars in fuel so take home about 300ish for each 1k miles. On a 3k week maybe 900 takehome. Its got alot of variables, thats just quick math. Lower your fuel costs (better fuel mileage and good fuel prices) will dramaticly change your take home. -
Thanks Mud Duck you've helped me re-position my calibrations and look also at other options.

Don't do it. Containers are always heavy and 85/95 can be hilly traffic jammed roads. Run far away.
