Question for flatbed owner operators...

In 2006, 161,000 miles (loaded and empty) $1.26 per mile all miles (Loaded and empty). My percent of gross is 72% pulling their trailer. (The $1.26 is my cut).

 

Would that be $202,860 Gross for the year? If so, roughly how much can a guy clear (net a year) once all taxes, expenses, ect. are deducted from the Gross revenue? By the way, you are probably tired after running almost 3,100 every week....hats off to ya.

 

last time i figured it up....$1.42 for all miles...$1.45...just loaded miles
depending on the type of frienght i get betwen 80% and 92%

my truck and trailer

ive only been doing this for about 5 months...and ive grossed a hair under 78k ( with this last load) and ran a total of almost 55k miles

 

started for current co. in mid Feb. till now, $120K and about 65k mi

 

im leased to davis transport in missoula , mt.....like you didnt already know that...lol

sorry my #'s includes fsc, as it is paid to me and it's on my settlement sheet included in the gross......i hope it doesnt throw you off

d/h is a problem for everyone....i normally wont accept a load over 250 miles away...notice i said normally.....and i routinely turn down cheaper loads...the dispatchers hafta work in order to get my share of the money...lol

 

Well put. We should be standing up for ourselves, and letting the dispatchers know what we expect (without whining of course!).

 

IMHO, its not a good average.....especially since that number includes the FSC

later,
toe
