Do you include costs like tolls in your rate per mile?

I count all income on a run. No, if you’re talking about a cost per Instead of just figuring out one run. There’s more math with that. Every expense you have in your trucking business will compare against your income.

 

I think if you're trying to figure out what your revenue actually is per mile, then you would figure in fuel surcharge because that is part of your income.

You don't figure toll reimbursement because if they reimburse you then it's like it never existed, it doesn't affect Revenue.

If you're trying to figure whether a load is good to take and if you figure those things into the rate per mile, if it were me I would take the fuel surcharge as a bonus and if they're going to pay the tolls depending on the route you might drop a little bit on what you want to get for the load.

Depends on how big the surcharge is and where you're headed with tolls.

Like for example if you're going into New York and they pay your tolls, that's a very different rate than if you were paying your own tolls.

 

All revenue dived by all miles = rate per mile

 

including what you pay yourself, benefits, 401K's and vacation time

 

Lot Lizards are by the hour though. I'm having a difficult time converting that to a per mile expense.

 

A-All revenue dived by all miles = rate per mile.
So should include DH miles.
Minus.
B-All yearly Expenses divided by miles driven= Expense per mile.
A minus B is what you put in your pocket per mile.

 

Line haul divided by mileage.

 

This.

 

All these are correct.
