    Perfect example. using this simulation game free load board get your next load and figure out what the average per mile is.

    Those are break even loads at best.

    You and i both know it's really the same thing. Looking at free load boards prepares you to run a truck about as well as madden prepares you to run the ny giants

    2.85 a mile let's say 27% for driver and 30 % for taxes so 1100 to start. minus 57% = 473 -fuel and maintenance so let's say 6 mpg. Comes to 200 for fuel at 3.00 a gal. Then maintenance 40 bucks for .10 a gal. So that comes to 250 rounding down plus a toll of 70 so 180 profit. Did I miss anything ? If I did what is it.

    It's your simulation game, so you pick. Put together a round trip or triangle and use google maps to get the ALL mile rate.
