Mileage Rates for Flatbed

All of this is irrelevant unless you discuss amount of miles your getting under each program.

Also what all do you supply and what does the broker supply you? Trailers? Insurance? Plates? Nothing?

 

It is indeed.
"It's not what you make it's what you keep"
higher gross without a net increase is not worthwhile imo, and working harder or working more for the same or less (net) is a losing proposition.

 

you have lower costs if you own your own truck then I do. Even so I think the miles are out there that you don't need someone else to find loads. I don't think it is a smart move but you could move one truck over there just to see. Would you use his authority or yours?

 

you run
2000 miles at 2.15 equals $4300
at (for example)
3000 miles at 1.80 is $5400
that extra 1000 miles makes you $1100 a week equals $1.10 a mile for take out what you pay your drivers per mile and thats your profit.... then your wear and tear maintenance and fuel and thats your profit. Not worth it

 

I would tell him no less than 2.00 per mile... nicely of course
