How do my numbers look for car hauling? What am i missing or inaccurate on?

I ended up doing way less then 12k a month. More like 6k a month. But my expenses are lower then i thought. I was averaging about 2500 a week revenue doing ######## Copart stuff to the port to go to Africa. 2500 covers expenses with putting 1k towards the trailer monthly plus 1k away monthly for #### that breaks. I then switched away from port crap to dealership stuff and revenue went up significantly. I’m happy i learned on the Copart crap that can be beat up and was able to break even while gaining experience. This week we did 4600 working 5 days and driver home every night.

 

Wow my numbers were way off. These are my real expenses:

3200 driver. Pay 160 a day. 200 on saturdays
2100 fuel
950 insurance
870 truck payment
1000 trailer
600 for Tolls. This varies like crazy. I’m in very populated area so depending on which direction i go determines this. Lately I’ve been staying away from Long Island and the GW.

Everyone who said everything will go wrong is completely right. Every thing has gone wrong but we work through it.

 

ive learned it depends on the distance and the route. i dont take any cars remotely close to 60 cents a mile. but im only going 80 miles or so.

 

im in a real populated area next to multiple states. definitely staying busy but im on CD like a hawk waiting for the good loads that make sense. i mix 3 car loads about 80 miles with some short hauls. for the past few days though i hit the jackpot. $3.75 a mile with cars all coming from the same place and going out to two different locations. been doing 1100 minimum wednesday thursday friday saturday and today. lets see how long i can ride this wave for.

the only bad part is i can only hold 2 of them at a time. if i could do 3 id be crushing it

 

thats exactly the plan. the dispatcher was added to payroll today.

 

i have a driver and he is home every night. hed rather be on the road and staying in hotels but it hasnt made sense for us.
