How much money in trucking?

there is more trucks in NW than freight so forget about 2/mile round trip. maybe 2mi one way and raped going back specialy on reefer

 

Here lately it's even hard to get 2 a mile all in on the west coast for reefer if your pulling loads from the boards.

 

I am a new company and I consistantly get 2+ per mile even now. Stick to midwest and dont go on crazy long runs.

 

In trucking there are similarities to some other professions.... "How do you make a small fortune in (fill in the blank)? Start with a large fortune!"

 

About 700 billion USD, give or take a bit.

Your share of that 700b may vary.

$2/mi - possible depending on what you're doing
10k mi/mo - probably pushing it a bit, and taking that much on makes it harder to keep up a $2/mi average
$4500 fuel - for now that's a high estimate, might be a low estimate in 6 months
$2000 ins+tolls - pretty reasonable depending on where you're going
$2000 to expense acct - if you're lucky enough to avoid having a bad month for half a year, or if you start with 5 digits in the acct, might work.
