Hate the rate

This is what my buddy does. He tells everyone that he overages $2 per mile, but forgets to add, that he runs 200-300 miles per day.

 

At 1.30 assuming you have a good reliable truck, you are pretty much breaking even. At 1.50 you are making profit if you run 3k miles per week. Fuel started to go up, so soon you might be breaking even at 1.50, gotta adjust accordingly

 

My truck is paid for, and it's reliable but then again it's mechanical

 

When I feel ambitious I run 2 hauls per day ( average 250-300 miles per haul @ $2.50 per mile ) and then that's a round trip back home, but I do normally go home every other day.

 

You can easily get $2 freight if you want to run 200-300 miles per day.
Based on my calculations 2014 $2 freight today is $1.70 with fuel price adjustment.

 

Sounds like if you live on the road you don't have any bills back "home" then right?

 

Right on. I'm thinking about pretty much doing what you are doing that's why I asked...
