    If you know your operating cost, how much profit do you require to haul a load? How do you figure your rates?

    Curious to know what you guys include in your CPM. Personally I included insurance, loadboards, fuel and expenses so much per mile for maint, and all yearly expenses dealing with registration and Authority.

    My cost to operate ranges between $1.25 and $1.30 a mile for everything to do with the operation right down to office supplys so i will take no load less than $2 a mile. 98% are $2.50 a mile and up. Looking to allways be over $2 a mile for all miles driven.

    This is how to correctly figure it out "everything to do with the operation right down to office supplies" and the figures are right on track with mine.

    Everyone seems to base it off per mile; does anyone do as I do and base it off per day??

    I never know how many miles I will turn a week or month.
