    Have you considered more specialized hauling such as pulling Hazmat loads. There are some outfits such as TSMT and R&R that offer higher paying loads.

    Both companies want teams due to military munition hauls. I'm a solo operation. I've checked other hazmat outfits, and I live in a non-hiring area, or they don't hire o/os. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Thank you for the detailed information regarding your trucking biz. Given the economy and the general slow freight situation your numbers indicate you are doing a very good job. How long do you plan on keeping the tractor? Do you have a mileage in mind as a trade up point or just as long as it stays reliable drive it until the wheels fall off?

    I already got 508,000 miles on it in just 3.5yrs so I will need to drive it till the wheels fall off. But that's not a concern, as it has been very reliable. I've been very satisfied with the service recieved from Cummins and IH. While I really like the KW styling, I don't want the KW price tag on repair bills.
     
    Dryver and cynicalsailor Thank this.

    Re: Financial Statements – Via Web

    John, following you will find your February 2010 monthly financial statement. We
    are also posting your January monthly financial statement to the web at this time.

    In looking at the February financials, you are showing a Net Profit of $13,944 for
    the year-to-date period. This comes out to $0.590 cents per mile and is based
    on 23,647 paid miles. You received IRA bonuses and detention pay totaling
    $852 during the month. This additional pay added $0.081 cpm to your net profit
    for the month. You also received a license bonus of $1,558 in February that
    offsets license expense recorded in the Fixed Costs section of your financial
    statement.

    You are averaging 11,824 paid miles per month this year compared with 11,141
    monthly miles you averaged last year. You were out on the road 54 days
    through the end of February 2010 (92% in service) and averaged 438 miles for
    each day you were out.

    Your maintenance expense for the first two months of 2010 was $1,583 or
    $0.067 cpm and your tractor supplies expense was $121 or $0.005 cpm. Fuel
    costs averaged $0.422 cpm less fuel surcharge reimbursements of $0.249. This
    results in a net fuel cost of $0.173.

    Your tractor depreciation expense for 2009 will be $9,280. You are in the fifth​
    year of a five year depreciation schedule for your tractor.

    For the first two months of '10 I'm averaging $1.346 cpm. This is a little missleading because it includes $600 in IRA contributions and $1558 in base plate incintive pay. Which, as stated above adds almost .08 cpm. Taking those factors into consideration, I'm averaging $1.27 cpm +/-. The avg. fuel surcharge the first two months was .249 cpm.

    I ran mostly upper Mid-West for these two months, and the poor fuel quality, extreme cold, ice/snow conditions, and the necessity to idle more than I like, all combined to cause an increase in fuel consumption. About .025 cpm more than the previous years avg..

    When you say "poor fuel quality" is that because of the region you were running or because of the additives that are added for the winter?

    As a general rule, sometime around late October early November most truck stops north of I40 will treat the fuel with anti-gel after it is delivered to their tanks. This along with ULSD makes for poor cetane levels, and thus a less efficient burn in the cylinders, resulting in reduced fuel economy.
     
    Travelinman Thanks this.

    The Crete Carrier Courier mentions an $0.08/mile maintenance escrow for the used equipment sale program, and $0.05/mile escrow for the new equipment program (if financed through Capitol Financing). Is this escrow paid over the life of the lease to the company,or only up to a certain amount ,which when reached, you stop paying? And is this account for repair/maintenance only?
