GET RICH!

Been seeing a lost of posts for Newbies and New o/ ops talking about makking .90 to 1.50 pr mile.
Been doing this o/op stuff going on 6yrs now! if you think you can make it on a buck and a half or less be my guess BROKERS will love you!
In my opinion your whats wrong with this industry cheapazz freight haulers.
So go ahead spend all your savings jump in head first and join the party go see the country.
Till u gotta re-up your insurance and registration next year.
you cheap freaight haulers "friend of the shipper and broker" but there not your friend!
I pull flatbed my min is $2.00 BUCKS. IT SHOULD BE MORE been getting raped last 4 years. time to make a livable wage for our sacrifices!
how bout this for a thought either the rates come up or we dont haul it. everywhere fl,tx,ok, ut,etc.
TRUCKINGS NOT CHEAP! WITH ENOUGH TIME YOULL FIND THAT OUT.
Signed frustated!

 

I dont see how anyone can haul for these cheap rapes!
i have noticed big descrepencies in what o/ops pay in insurance.
I live in Tn an pay six hundred per month and no drivers just entering o/op status paying $148.00 pr month through Oieda but here a lot of $150.00 to $200.00 pr month when i asked why was told depends on what state you live in. I pay payments on somebody a new home or nice car every month.

BIG JOHN , you are absolutely right! I hate to admit it! for years i have been running off what i read on a forum somewere and thought well, that must be it pr mile. Well, i was allways coming up short.
Ya no! there are things in trucking i dont understand or just plain dissagree with! Heres one.
How is it Brokers want a truck owner to haul their freight for the lowest possible rate, then pay you 30-60-90 days later upon reciept of original BOL"S. No fuel advance! NOTHING. We work for cheap but put up the money and sacrifice everything, At the whims of a broker taught to be stern with a trucker while laughing about how they they got us to haul thier loads so cheap! TELLEM ITS A BACKHAUL! Funny thing is its always some ones bacKhaul, AND RATES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ARE REFLECTING THIS.
TRUCKERS! Most people think were stupid! AND WHY NOT! Im just lost as too how this happened! Maybe its allways been this way!

HERES A LINK TO FIND OUT WHAT ITS ACTUALLY COSTING YOU PR MILE TO RUN PLUS A WAGE YOU WOULD LIKE.
Cost PerMile Spreadsheet IF THIS DONT ORK ITS AT OOIDA WEBSITE.

EVERY DRIVER NEEDS TO KNOW THIS! SEEMS LIKE WEVE BEEN STUCK ON
$ 1.50 SINCE 70"S. WITH NO ACCOUNT FOR INFLATION.
Fuel is close to $3.00 gallon.
Anyway run the numbers post them and the type trailer u pull.

MY PETE IS PAID FOR BOUGHT A NEW FLATBED WANT TO MAKE ATLEAST 40 THOU THIS YEAR. MY PER MILE WAS $2.19.

Ok it makes since now that you explained it all the way.. i didn't know you were using "estimate", and "actual" as inputs. I've never been an owner operator, but plan to be in the fall, so i can't really use any actual data since i have none, so i did everything based off estimates. estimate low miles, estimate 150gal fuel tanks, estimate 5mpg and all of that is a starting point. I then thow my expenses into it which are still estimates except for the authority, 2290. Everything else is an estimate cause i do not have anything solid on it, just quotes.
