    I am talking about long term. A whole year. How much do you want to make for the year. When you set an amount, like $180k, how do you get to that amount? Because it is a whole year, you have to project from averages. So, you look at the averages, and determine that your average profit per mile will be $1. So, you have to drive 180k miles in the year then. But, if your average profit per mile is $1.30, you only have to drive 138k miles which is 2650 miles per week.

    The entire thought process might be one of those things that the less we know about it the better off we'll be. :rolleyes:

    I understand how to calculate rate per mile, but im simply saying i dont treat every mile as the same because they arent,in my opinion... Really i am just poking holes in the rate per mile theory, because i dont think its the best way to quote a job.. But that is my own opinion.. Many people are successful with many different ways of doing business.. If it works for you thats all that matters

    lol @ all the guys who got in during one of the biggest trucking booms in history and now think you need $3 a running mile long haul to turn a profit.

    Maybe don't pay 120k for a 50k truck next time? ‍
