Owner operator break even points

No two trucks running down the road have the same break even point.

 

Well that depends ... Am I doing my shorter runs and only averaging maybe 7-8,000 per month? Or am I on my long runs doing sometimes 12-14,000? East coast tolls?

 

U will never have a break even point in a business as unpredictable as this. But if u want an Estimate, u may want to include more details about ur company. The last two years, it cost me 120k each year to run my MCA with about 100k miles per year. That's 1.20 before utilities, family, etc. And i was home every weekend.

 

as a O/O my break even point is MY business not yours....

what it sounds like to me is you are trying to find out just how cheap you can get driver- O/O to pull your loads..... i don't do CHEAP

this as in most cases you get what you pay for.... you want cheap that's what you'll get.... you want good safe service you need to pay for it

 

Everyone's costs are different. I try to shoot for the minimum of $1.80/mile range on loads when OTR. Average TTT obviously takes a hit with deadhead, lanes and downtime.

 

In another thread they are already posting numbers for wages.....
Sounds like someone put the cart before the horse.
My advice to anyone thinking about applying is to be very skeptical about anything they say.
