Overall maintenance/repair cost per mile: 7.9 cpm



Excluded from the cost calculation (because SWIFT paid for it after one of their drivers dragged a trailer across the hood), but significant because it replaced many items likely to need it soon anyway:

Maintenance cost to operate between miles:

600,000 - 850,000: 9.0 cpm
650,000 - 900,000: 10.2 cpm
700,000 - 950,000: 9.9 cpm
750,000 - 1,000,000: 5.6 cpm (inframe no longer in costs)
800,000 - 1,050,000: 5.3 cpm
850,000 - 1,100,000: 6.2 cpm
900,000 - 1,150,000: 7.3 cpm
950,000 - 1,200,000: 7.5 cpm
1,000,000 - 1,250,000: 7.5 cpm

1,150,000 - 1,400,000: 6.6 cpm
1,200,000 - 1,450,000: 7.8 cpm


Most Expensive month: $10,584.30 -- 98 CPM -- (06/22/07-07/21/07)
Most Expensive 3-month: $12,411.87 -- 32 CPM -- (05/31/07-08/31/07)


These "most expensive" time periods are less severe than I would plan for -- the inframe wasn't very expensive (and it was only performed because the head gasket went out and he figured "while I'm in there..."). He also ran recaps for drives and had a good friend doing a lot of the more complicated labor jobs for less than market rates.


So how much capital does an owner operator need?

I think you should have at least $20,000 in reasonably priced credit available on any given day -- just for SHTF repair type situations. I'd also want 2 months worth of fuel and driver costs in cash/cash equivalents (eliminates the temptation to make short-sighted "cash flow needs" decisions like factoring). That's at least $20,000 at 10,000 miles/month & 50cpm for fuel & 50cpm for driver/benefits.

On top of that $40,000 in readily available business capital, everyone (not just owner ops, everyone) ought to have 6 months' personal expenses in reasonably liquid, low-risk investments. This is a safety net, ready for life's next once-a-decade emergency.
