Fuel cost

That would depend on how many miles you run.

 

Too many variables. Fuel bill from last week was $4000 week before $3700. Yea I burn a lot of fuel but I run a lot of miles now. The average truck will burn around $2500-3000 in fuel per week. That would be a safe estimate.

 

Ballpark :
$3.80 per gallon
4000 mile week
6 miles per gallon

$2533.34 fuel costs.

 

There are various web sites that list national retail fuel averages from state to state and this varies considerably. So where you're operating makes a huge difference. But 6 mile per gallon is a good reference point to use and you can do the math depending on how many miles you think you'll run in a given period.

usually between 2100-2900 depends but I average about 7mi per gallon

 

$0. The company pays for fuel. It's bulk at the terminal so I don't even have receipts to go off of.

I fear we have someone with zero knowledge of trucking considering getting a massive loan or dropping a lot of cash, buying a truck, and "making the big bucks" and is trying to figure out the "profit". OP ... DON'T DO IT!!!! Gain some more knowledge of the industry first.
