    I'm getting bored with sitting around...I'm considering buying a truck and going owner op....Is 1.45 per mile a good rate, with insurance and plates paid...It says nothing about fuel cards......
    What should I be looking for?

    depends, if that's shorter loads doing Northeast regional that rate sucks
    If it's dedicated coast to coast loads then that rate is okay.

    It depends on a lot of factors really. way to many to list. start with costs. truck payment, plates, fuel etc. it is a hard question to answer. two guys with the exact same truck on the exact same route will have different costs. look up starting a small business and that can help you with the planning way more then trying to figure it out here

    Your biggest cost today if fuel. Fuel will cost you close to 2 times per hour what your pay rate should be.
