Profit per mile

The minimum I will roll for is $1.48/mi I really don't have a set "profit per mile" sometimes i don't make but $.20/mi on one and $1.00/mi on the next run. Most companies try and make 30% profit but that's real hard to do in trucking when cost runs about 50% of cross

 

thank you for the interesting post, op. looking as an outsider, im only disappointed that you got only one person to respond that understood the question.

 

Keep the post coming the grasshopper is all ears

 

It's a lot simpler looking at a week compared to one day or load.

 

from the example i gave......the excetera(etc.) part...means every other expense you can think of to include with your expenses without me having to write them all out. Driver pay plus whatever else you can add to that. Just trying to help.

 

Then 1.5 per mile.

 

Something that I see most have missed... Profit is money left over "AFTER" all expenses which includes drivers pay.

 

me to ,It seems that bayou also figures it by mile. I think the more dedicated route guys can figure it different ways.
guys driving were ever the pay takes us then by the mile is the easiest...i think anyway.

 

So how does a company you have in your name also pays yourself even work out? Would seem like ud even have to pay taxes no matter what on that money, so why even include drivers pay?
