Sounds like someone should have stayed a company driver. Just dont have what it takes to be an o/o. Your attitude is way off too. People give you free advise and you have a bad attitude...So sad. Does sound like one of your problems tho. Be safe out there drivers.

 

Act like a moron, be treated like a moron.

 

Yes it's all a fixed cost.....steer tires last 100,000miles drives last 280,000miles trailer tires 130,000 miles, so you figure out how many miles you drive a year and the cost of tires and divide that by how many years it takes you to drive if you drive a 100,000 miles a year so that's 0.064 a/mile a year it cost you.
Insurance will say $8,000 a year that's 0.08 a/mile per year
Maintenance again you know when you do your PMs say it cost you $300 a PM and you do it every 20,000 miles that's five times a year that's 0.015 a/mile so that's all fixed cost!!!

 

A fixed cost is something that does not change ... Fuel varies therefore cannot be considered a fixed cost

and if you have over 25 years experience ..... Why does your profile say 10?

 

With your driver pay $15,321 that = $52,321 that's $1,679 off of my numbers..........so keep going your not talking to stupid steering wheel holders most of us do know what we're talking about!!!
