Gross rate for all miles

Hey all, been a owner op for a couple years now, leasing on to a couple different carriers.

I know my cost per mile including fixed and variable costs.

Where im leasing my truck on to now ive come up with $1.67 with every mile put on truck. Flatbed trailers provided by carrier at no cost.

Lightweight freight, most of the time multiple stops 3-5. All i have to do is pick up trailer that’s already loaded and roll down the road. Consistent freight year round.

Back hauls always geared towards taking me back to the terminal instead of chasing the best rate.

My goal in this thread is just to compare to what other owner ops are grossing per mile before expenses. (Preferably flatbed work, but all are welcome)

And do yall think what i got now is a decent gig? Im always looking to improve, again i know my costs and im making a profit now, but I feel i could make a larger profit...

 

$1.67 is what im getting paid for all my miles. Yes my cost does include my salary. Im not making alot but my truck is paid off.

 

Yep thats what ive been thinking lol last carrier i was getting $2.23 all miles flatbed but running my ### off on paper logs.

 

All i pay for is my bobtail physical insurance, and fuel for the truck. They dont have any fuel surcharge either.

 

No, they werent loaded before it was all open flatbed work.

Right now im pulling sidekits and Conestoga
