Where to get Rate's Per Mile?

The only way to get an accurate rate is to figure YOUR cost per mile.... Then add what ever profit you intend or wish to make. That will be your bid price.

 

I think they're talking about an accurate rate index for a given freight lane. Am I right?

Are you using load boards you are signed on for, or are you using the rate index provided in the free trials? I've heard they're way off.

 

That could be. I guess I got confused when the OP said....

Cause to me.... If I'm submitting a bid for freight.... I'm gonna use my numbers..... Not numbers off a index

 

Nothing like bringing the curve down eh" mad? Bid what ya think the job is worth, and screw the rest of them. Who knows maybe youll bring that curve way up...

 

If i cant make what the oil, tire, insurance, and gas companies make off me running down the road im not rolling im not in the business just to make them a profit YOU ALSO HAVE TO MAKE A PROFIT!!!
So with that said my CPM is $.78 a mile so no matter what im not going to haul any load under $1.56 a mile

Don't know what your hauling, but this link is for produce rates.
