Grossing $5k Per Week

What is your expected average rate per mile AFTER Prime takes their cut?

 

I do between 5 and 7k a week running off the boards. I pull a flatbed and run usully 2500 to 2800 miles a week...
I do however pull 50% of my own freight.
I also pay 7k a year for insurance do all my own filings etc etc.. not to mention tags have gone up to 1,950.00 a year in my state.. with the eld mandate I can't
Make it..
Been doing this #### since 1988.. about ready to get out.

 

I'd tell ya what my fixed costs are but it would probably make you cry.

Now i haven't had a truck payment in a decade but last time i bought a new truck my payment was right around 1600 a MONTH. 881 a week truck payment is just ridiculous.

If its a true walk away lease like you said, walk away. Go get a company job cause with those costs and pulling an average of a buck 70 a mile freight you are literally making less money than a company driver. Actually don't walk away. Run away. Fast as you can.
