How much would you charge?

Ok 3.75 I will go no lower!!

 

$4, did I win?

 

Nope you lost sorry try again!

 

Here it is 3.70

 

I didn't lose, I just don't have to hook up to a POS container trailer. Winning.

 

Going once.......going twice.....sold

 

Take your cost per mile and add what you want for profit on top of that, and that will be YOUR rate.

 

I will haul it for free. That's right, free. As long as someone pays my fuel, my mortgage for 6 months, pays for my food for a year, and gives me $10,000 in cash before I turn my truck.

 

So if he said his cost per mile is 1.36$/mile and he than said he wants a million bucks to profit of this run would you still give the same advice?

 

It is my understanding, never having pulled an empty container, that they tend to have lots of drag and therefore fuel mileage is way down. The fact that it is empty is a good sign. It was a one time a practice to leave the containers where they ended up overseas as shipping cost sometimes exceeded the cost of a new container. That being said, if you have a reason to go to Florida, I would tell you to bid at least $3 per mile.
