Owner op paid per mile.

1.10-1.35 plus fuel surcharge.

good luck .

 

Ok, my question is how much is FSC? In actual money terms. Or if % terms, please explain, or give an example. Any other examples like based on 6 mpg. $1.50 per gallon etc. please Splain it to Me.

 

I've noticed rate per mile messes up the math and makes thinking clearly nearly impossible for some ( yes me).....can I turn this just a little bit and ask a couple questions?
1) including all house and truck expenese's, what do you need to make weekly?
2) what is your work ethic? Are you a out 3-4 day type or 3-4 week type?
3) take what you make now and add we will say 37% for taxes.( just a random number) and ask is that enough for you to do it?
A lot of people want to buy a truck and lease on somewhere. And I strongly encourage it. I don't, and I've mentioned this a few times. Ever encourage any one to start any business. If they can't currently balance there books. Because when you buy a truck or a lawn mower to start a business. You just bought more financial agervation.
Every one should know somewhere there cost per mile. But the pay per mile is extremely different. I will put my self out there so you understand.
We can't have kids, so my bills are already less than some one who even has a prego woman never mind one two or three youngins. I have no car payment. No truck payment. I do have a house and land payment.
So what I need is less than what some one else needs.
Depending on where you are in the country vs where you are willing to drive. Will honestly tell you what the rate per mile for that lane is.
Coming out ofCali pays way better than coming out of maine or Maryland.
I am a leased operator. I'm not nor do I ever think I could make it with my own numbers. I need a weekly check. But on the land star load board. There is between 1.60 a mile up to 4.65 a mile. For where I run.
From what I'm told this is rare. So don't bank on anything over 2.30 a mile for long term math.

What is this nonsense about cents per mile. Should be DPM.

 

Ok ill bite, what does the D stand for?

 

I’m guessing “Shafted Per Mile”?

 

The rate per mile varies so much because company ABC pays you x and deducts all expenses, insurance, plates permits, etc. Company DEF pays y because they "pay" for plates and permits and deduct the rest from you. Company GHI "pays" all expenses except fuel and maintenance/repairs.
Regardless if you are paying deductions on your settlement or not, you are paying for those expenses..

Not to long ago I argued with a guy on the canadian forum that thinks he has a good gig because he doesn't have any deductions on his settlement beyond fuel. He had no clue what those expenses work out to. In the end I was making .25 to .30 more per mile after paying what he got for "free".
