Looking for some help with pricing

All of our equipment is paid for, we run 2 older model trucks and trailers. It is just me and my brother, very low overhead. The loads coming back have nothing to do with the rate on the front haul, I dont run like that. It needs to be profitable whether I have loads coming back to the area or not. That is the tricky part. I should be meeting with the manager tonite so we will see what happens. Thanks guys

Appreciate all the replies. Did some figuring last night and the shorter runs up to 50 miles all seem to pay about $3 a mile all miles and the longer ones are around $2.30-$2.50. I can easily gross $750-$800 on 300 miles or less a day and still reload for the next morning and be home by 5 or 6pm. Some of their mileages are off but I can fix those I believe. I think I am going to give this a whirl, things will be starting up in a few weeks. Thanks again guys
