Right on, a o/o freind of mine is pulling a van for a company out of ME and if you go buy his dispatched empty and loaded miles he's around $1.50 a mile but when he does it by his speedo miles he drop's down to about $1.10 a mile, big diffrence.

 

Some likely try and use the ABF ( As Birds Fly ) method of mileage calculations to get even better $ per MILE.

You need to take the $ generated and ALL the miles it took to GENERATE the $

 

You realize that Dot doesn't haul "produce"?

 

Cost per mile should be based on your total running miles. Work it out on a single load, a month, a quarter (3 months), or a yearly basis. You need to take all your costs into account when you do this. Insurance, wages, fuel, maintenance, truck payments, etc and so on. Divide that by the # of miles you ran in that period, and you will have your cost per mile. Divide your revenue for that same period by the same # of miles, and you will know your true average per mile. There is no point in leaving things out on the cost side, or not including your empty miles in the equation either, as you are only going to be lying to yourself.

 

im sure they haul some dont hate the player hate the game
