the thing is we know what our break even point is and we also know how much profit we need to make...... and really the only reason you want to know is to see if you can pay less so you can make a higher profit...

Breaking even? sheeet. I'm in this biz to make money, not to break even.
"I can get my own authority and bypass your % and work straight with brokers? Why would I need to work with you?" [/owner operator]thelushlarry Thanks this. -
Maybe you should ask...
What do you need to make money? No matter if it's % or miles.NadeauTrucking and monstertrucking1 Thank this. -

You said yourself you were wondering if you were paying too much, which leads one to believe you'd like to pay less when that statement is read. If you're getting good quality people to move loads for you why not just build on that? Build a reputation of having quality people delivering undamaged product every time. The people you hire are the face of your company and personally if all is going great right now I wouldn't chance it to keep 5% more for yourself. I'm not saying that's your intent, I'm saying that's how your posts are coming across.

Here is the answer your question; u charge 22% that's wayyyyy tooooo much, so u gotta charge 10% which is average!
But is not something u wanted to hear, but that's the truthkimbosa Thanks this. -
Here how it works with few companies I know in metro Detroit. Owners pay their own bobtail and have trailers. Owners keep 90% and companies try not to go below $2 per mile, so owner gets about $1.80. Hope it helps
