Northeast 'Backhaul' rate to the Midwest.

my fuel is in the 40 to 50 cent range, obviously depends on what area I'm running. benefit of being leased to a carrier is very good fuel savings, and almost no ins costs. an older paid for truck also keeps ins low. don't have the exact figure in front of me right now, but it's around 125/month. my maintenance costs are also extremely lie compared to most simply cause I do all the repairs, but most importantly I'm under the truck every single week greasing it, so I catch problems before they get expensive.


edit to add: cpm of 70 cents and revenue of 2 bucks in my statement that you quoted was just round even numbers used as an example for the discussion lilbit and I was having.

Why give cut-throats a leg up? You ought to delete that.

 

Why is making sense and having logic make you an apologist?
if you tell a grocer you want corn when it isnt corn season, the cost of a dozen is going to be more than when it is corn season. Same with the trucks that haul it.
