    it may cover expenses, but it sure doesn't have the profit margin that a person would like.

    So just what do you think a good company would pay you for mile if you leased on with them? .97 VPN plus fuel surcharge of maybe .42 cpm 1.39 cpm gonna work for you?
    One guy on here says he needs 1.65 per mile just to operate. That's not even paying himself. Wow. I think some of you are expecting to get rich just a little to quick!
