$1.60 per mile

No...

 

Ok i can do that. Only after first 1250 miles @ .10/mile has beeen achieved.

 

If you will pay my plates, all my insurance, Qualcomm, 2290, road taxes, give me a better fuel card discount than what I have then sure I'll sell my trailer and take my plates back... real talk

 

Your offering $4000 and 2500 miles, looking for an owner op with authority. Depending on your location you MIGHT find one.
However since your supplying the trailer and I assume insurances associated with it.
If you get your own authority. Then look for a O/O with tractor only to lease onto you. You will probably get an overwhelming amount of replies

 

Why don't you just buy a truck and pay someone by the mile? If you know you have the freight you'll fare better having your own equipment.

Count me out.

 

Perhaps you could allow the owner operator to use your trailer to offset the 50 cpm deadhead. If they have authority it would make sense for both you and them to do so. You save the 50 cpm and they get to earn market rates to get back. Just my 2 cents.

 

I wont peddle a hot dog cart for that rate under my authority and business. You need to examine why that is all you can afford!

 

1.60 per mile sounds like an average of Intermodal work. 1.60 as an average is also what you get for power only with own authority at JB Hunt and the likes and they promise the same mileage too. After all costs drivers can do better than this.
