Expenses/ Salary

There's a couple websites for owner-operators in your situation.
Someone will post the best for you.
OOIDA is one of them, but there's another that someone will post. I can't remember the name of it.

 

As an owner/operator it’s not about the miles, but revenue per mile.

 

Run it again on 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135 miles a year and see what you come up with.

You have 3 types of expenses
1. Time based. Insurance, equipment payments, cell phone, etc.
2. Running based. Fuel, maintenance and repairs.
3. Load based. Tolls, permits

Do you want to make $78,000 a year or do you want to make 0.52 per mile?

 

Depends what kind of work you do and if you really boil your expenses down you’d be surprised truck and trailer fuel insurance maintenance etc. two bucks may be just barely breaking even
But to give you an example and I doubt it’s the kind of work you wanna do we only do refrigerated LTL in the Northeast I only 67,000 miles last year
the truck made $353,000 do the math
And remember like stated before it’s the revenue per mile not the miles per revenue
Good luck

 

my expenses last year with everything, fuel, def, repairs, insurance, trailer payments, 2290, yada yada everything was $2.22/mile.
So $2/mile you’d go broke.
That’s nothing home, truck expenses only.
