Your killing me smalls! lol (sandlot)
If your going to run like your describing then why not lease onto someone and lower your costs significantly?
What is your cost to run your truck while under a load? Ok, now that is your cost to DH minus better fuel economy to run empty!
I never understand why folks only count fuel and/or maintenance when figuring DH costs.
So do you then prorate and increase your loaded costs to offset not figuring all costs for every mile?
You have to start thinking like a fleet owner vs a truck owner/driver. What if you were paying your driver 50 cents plus 5 cents for payroll match and workmans comp? So now your DH seems much more costly! (And realistic)
Seriously, I'm not here to bust balls, I'm here to learn just like everyone else. Sometimes I just can't help but put my 2 cents in.
