Risinger Brothers Transfer

Big kid sounds to much like a recruiter.

 

Could be, but you will never know.

 

As much as I don't like him sometimes , i can vouch for bigkid being a driver. I remember him from when he used to drive at Prime.

 

OK so correct me if I'm wrong here but I'm trying really hard to figure all this out......

The recruiter told me on the phone that I should plan on averaging 2700-3000 miles per week so lets operate on an average number close to 2850.

Now, lets get the numbers together: $1.05 per mile pay + $0.17 per mile fuel surcharge figures in your total settlement, multiply that by your average miles per week (2850 as the recruiter is telling me) and you come up with a gross settlement of $3420.00.

Now lets start talking about the deductions:


Maintenance Fee # $0.10 per mile = $285.00
Weekly Truck Payment = $390.00
Workmans Comp Payment = $23.00
Deductible Buydown = $28.00
Physical Damage & Bobtail Ins. = $25.00
ATBS Tax Keeping Service = $8.08 (yeah, I know its optional)
Fuel Tax = $30.00

My calculator is coming up with a total fixed cost of $789.08 here.

Now lets talk about fuel, the recruiter also told me there's a discount system set up with a lot of Pilot t/s they have going on....
so, if you're averaging 6 mpg on those trucks & averaging 2850 miles per week (I'm going to assume they pay on PC Miler or Rand McNally miles) lets play the devils advocate here & add 10 percent more miles that the truck is gonna turn than what you're actually paid for so lets figure your truck is gonna turn 3135 miles. Take that 3135 miles & divide by your 6 mpg & I come up with about 522 gallons of fuel used per week.

If your getting this fuel discount at Pilot t/s what you're probably paying is somewhere around the neighborhood of $3.009 per gallon give or take. So your spending at least an average of $1575.00 weekly on fuel (now thats if you dont end up idling the truck at all).

So if my final calculations are right it sounds like $3420.00 minus the fixed expenses of $789.08, minus the average fuel cost weekly of $1575.00 ends you up with a net profit of $1055.92 which brings my final calculations to about $0.37 cents per mile. I suppose thats not really bad for a net figure but we need to remember that that figure doesn't include any kind of health insurance or income tax either.

BK2 help me out if I messed up on any of those numbers but I dont really think I did. All I'm doing here is trying to operate off of what the recruiters are telling me.

 

I would think fuel is much less then 3.009 a gallon there driver. If he is getting a decent discount I would go with somewhere in the range of 2.80-2.90
