what pay per mile is good?

Not sure what F2F takes or don't, I am only saying to talk to Bill as his company is doing very well based on what I have seen. If I were going to lease on to someone, it would be a company like his or maybe LS. I myself would rather do the O/O as I drove in the late 80's as a company driver and then left (marriage...lol) and then went back and drove again as a company driver and left (marriage, same woman..lol) and now I am divorced. So no one to tell me I can't drive and my kids are grown, so its just me...

 

I look at cpm with what it would cost me to replace my truck with a note, It sould not matter if my truck or trailer is paid for they dont last forever. My CPM is like $1.09/mile i add driver pay to that,than add profit to that bottom line i cant run under $1.85/mi and wont, I haul alot of $3+/mi loads but its not 4,000/mi a week worth. My all miles run $1.81 as of last week i could never see running as a team for less than that.

 

Hi Bayou, I agree with you and a new equipment replacement costs of so many cpm into an account would be ideal. Hopefully, Ropeastar sees your post and follows suit.

 

Ropeastar; here is a link for an operational costs calculator. I don't think the calculator works but it gives you a great idea on things too include in your figures. http://www.truckershelper.com/operationscost.php
