    I'm curious at what an owner op can make hailing propane. Got a shot at getting the training but I'm not sure if it's worth it.

    Best job I ever had pulling a tank. I was hauling a specialty product, DME in a 331.

    I don't know many O/O or companies that haul strictly propane. There may be some, but if they don't also haul NH3 (anhydrous ammonia, same type tank) they haul butane. Propane is of course very seasonal, although just last Thursday our little company got hit with 32 propane loads that needed to be done by Monday. Also, being seasonal, you have in and off season rate structures.

    Although it's not strictly propane, hauling propane, NH3 and road oil (asphalt) last year I averaged $2.02 for all miles on my truck. Keep in mind tank rates on these commodities are all paid round trip.

    There a lot of industrial propane that runs all year round. Also propellants are mixed all year also.
