  3. So with every week fluctuating, I'll give you averages. On a 2800 mile week, if I get 7 mpg, and get fuel at the national average, my operating costs would be $0.86 cpm. I keep $0.35 cpm pre tax. On an 8 mpg week, operating costs under my current agreement $0.82 cpm and I keep $0.39 cpm. Hope that helps.

    Based on current national average fuel costs, 2800 miles, and 7 mpg a JCT L/P's op costs are about 70 cpm.

    Im a leased o/o with jct and mine runs close about 60. Thats based on my current average of 3100 miles and making fuel purchases averaging 20 cpg under national avg.
     
  6. I feel you are not computing into your equation the fixed costs associated weekly. The $290 or whatever your fixed costs are.

    You said that you didn't put money aside previously to cover a 30k dollar major repair and that you will make sure sure you do that this time around. How much money from each settlement do you intend to set aside for maintenance this time?

    Did you not have the money to cover a major repair previously because you didn't earn enough to cover it, or, because you paid yourself too much?
     
    double yellow Thanks this.
