I'm sorry but $.90 a mile? Those are poverty wages. Are you driving a sprinter van?
-
no its .90 + fsc so around $1.20 - .15 maint =1.05 x 3000 mi =$3150 -trk pymt etc $400 =$2750 - fuel approx $1200 =$1550 in my pocket

After you pay tax will that even leave you a $1000? You can make that kind of money working 5 days a week as a company driver with no headache. I wouldn't take the financial risk, give up medical benefits, and paid holidays for any less the $2000 per week after taxes.
insertnamehere, kimbosa and damutt Thank this. -
Pay is way too low, we average $3.42 per mile, I couldn't do .90.
-
You're getting ripped off. All that hassle and stress for the same wage as a company driver.
insertnamehere Thanks this. -

The cost of fuel seems a bit low. At around 6.5mpg average, I typically pay around $3500 for fuel every two weeks.

Go for it Boston Bill ! Just know that the outcome might not be as you expected. Manage your $$$ and time well.
