What is your rate as a IC not a O/O leased on

I did not see anything about "no petty bs"

Today $2/mile sucks. I refuse to be blind to todays equipment costs, toll prices, fuel cost and so on. Every cost has inflated, and ill be dammed if i work for 70% of $2/mile or even 100% of $2/mile. A lot of people really need to research this "inflation" thing.....

 

It is so true that people are ''blinded'' by this 2.00 a mile crap....The dumbed down nation..

 

I have seen paper work my old man had from the 80s at and over $2/mile.
Yet every dipstick in the freak shows (aka truck stops) think $2/mile is so good. makes me sick, but these people dont know any better.
I highly doubt if 25% of americans even know what inflation is

 

Prove what?
That 2.43*0.82 is 2
Or that lower cost per mile means bigger net profit?

 

I am not really from this nation, so if I agreed the joke would be on you.
For dry van no matter what somebody says 2 dollars per mile average is a decent rate.
If you do better than that, next thing you ll say you pull reefer, flatbed, rgn...

 

Would you kindly share your wisdom with the rest , poor scmucks,who dont know any better how, where to get a better rate with a dry van?

 

I do better than that with a dry van, much better. No matter the trailer $2 a mile average on ALL hub miles is OK. Not great, but OK. That would include ALL deadhead. $2 a mile on "loaded miles only" - what brokers fondly refer to as "a great rate" - is pathetic, cheap freight that will have a truck averaging less than a $1.65 or worse on all miles depending on deadhead. I don't care who you are or how low you "think" your cost is. $1.65 a mile, no matter how many miles, is enough to keep to keep the truck going but you won't be eating very well. If you don't save for the truck hauling a lot of that freight you'll be one of these jokers who can't afford a single tire, or even a mudflap. It's no fun working just to keep a truck going.

 

Thank You rollin coal,it is nice to see someone here has a brain..It is so sad that so many people in trucking are CLUELESS...

Today my load is 287 Miles 5000 LBS...Gross is 1550.00 to truck...

 

are we speaking the same language right now ? When i say per mile it means per mile. empty and loaded.

 

2 per mile After companys cut. After.
They dont get to take 18 percent twice.

You can make it happen on 1.65 a mile as well. many do.
As you get more miles , your cost goes down.
