Booking long distance loads

That is not a long distance load. Not an unusual y high rate either. Stay local.

 

I would consider that regional not long haul. Most drivers consider 1400 miles plus long haul. Rate and mileage is ok, but not for having it on your truck for 3 days and for emptying out on a Friday.

 

Why does it cost $1300 to run 900 miles?
It really depends on what you hauling and for whom,staying local can be more profitable,picking up and dropping off everyday but it can also mean longer wait times,missed appointments and lost revenue and more work if doing open deck.
Imo mixing it up is the best option,position yourself for the best market and manage your time to work comfortably while meeting your costumers expectations

 

Seems like anything over 500 miles is a two day transit since ELD's therefore might as well be called a long haul. The rates seldom ever justify the lost extra day(s) you lose.

 

I wonder what is on the back end, are you going stuck d/h back to civilization.

 

Probably because he included his cost to operate per mile ....not just $500 in fuel and 2300 profit

 

$500 for 900 miles? What in the fuel injector leak is going on?

 

6mpg truck,$3 per gallon:$450 fuel cost

 

Insurance , truck/trailer payment ( if any ) , amortization , tolls , plates etc
