Thanks for the input. This is extremely helpful. Already been per-approved for Road Runner Transportation Temp Controlled as a company driver/lease or under my own authority with them putting my own truck on from a dealer. Working on getting a truck from a dealer right now.

I'm going to break this down for people. Assuming I get this right? If I am wrong, correct me and I will edit this.

Will use 6mpg average based on the truck I am purchasing

My Schwans from Salina,Kansas to Portland, OR
Fuel Surcharge: 451.17
Total Miles:1679

1679miles / 6mpg = 280 gallons
280Gallons * 2.48 a gallon - AVG Fuel Rate = $694.40

Fuel Surcharge: $451.17
Out of pocket expense $243.23

1.48 PM is $2,484.92
Minus out of pocket for fuel = $2,241.69 Gross

Not bad............. About a 3 day trip at 560miles per day. Could probably knock out 650 of that a day though.

 

I don't that is quite right. I thought he said the $1.48 mile included the FSC?

$1.48 a mile x 1,679 = $2,484.94 gross with FSC.

Fuel cost as calculated by you $694.40

Leaves $1,790.54 for 3 days of running

Per day gross $596.85 BEFORE other related truck expenses, fixed & variable.

 

It includes FSC. Bleh!!!

Well, assuming the average loads are like that and better you will do just fine though, with Fixed & Variable. That is with a 2900 truck payment. Hopefully, their are better loads than that more often then not simply because I added all that up for a 6 day and full month average, which I would hope not be the case! Some of us want some home time, maybe a 34 at the house each weekend. heh!

 

I hate to break it to you, but $1.48 a mile before all truck expenses leaves company driver wages at best, with all liability on the shoulders of the lease operator.

 

Hence I said I hope their are far more often loads that are better.. With my expenses, I would bring 5,957.10 a month before any taxes if stuck at 1.48.

A friend of mine told me they were making up to 2.50 a mile.

 

I've posted my settlements here before. We also get fuel discounts. I don't know anyone getting $2.50 a mile here.

 

Did anyone not got there settlement statement yesterday?

 

It was supposed to come after 1600. If you're negative they won't give you one from what I've heard

 

Negative? Like, you owe them money?

 

Yes that's what I was told
