    I'm assuming you have or you can get the van . Let's assume a cost of 20,000. Let's pay this off in a year . At 365 days that's 54 dollars a day .So. Let's figure out operating costs . 10.5 hours and 75 miles is cost . Time for an employee and gas and maintenance . 10.5*20 an hour ( at 15.00 an hour wage plus 5 an hour in insurance and taxes and benefits). 75/15 mpg*2.5=12.50 a day plus .08 per mile maintenance , 75*.08=6 dollars for a total of

    54 for van payment
    210 wages
    12.50 per day gas
    6 dollars maintenance
    = 282.50 per day to operate
    I'd bid at 400 a day or 2800 a week
    Just an example of how to figure good luck my man

    Charge all expense like gas and payments everything on a rewards card , pay the balance off every month before the interstate charge and get the cash back . Get a Costco card to get cheaper gas , etc

    Amazon is an old hand at figuring pricing. First party to name a figure loses.
