How do you o/o for ~$1/mile?

I think you need a wife with a good paying job to subsidize your expensive hobby.

You ain't making any money at that rate.

The world is full of suckers though.

 

Here's how a broker explained it to me last week: There are o/os who haul cheap because they're content to work for $3/hour.

 

Even if i was rich and won the lotto i woulndt even haul for half that rate

 

I hope this is what you meant LOL.

 

Easy he has had a 12 pack already tonight.

 

youll have to forgive me i ahve had a couple man sodas tonight

 

I figure fuel, truck, & me. Miles to travel, & extra costs. If they don't like the number get an amateur.

 

i survived on 1.20 a mile. forced dispatch. car payment, bike payment, rent and small bills. but i averaged 3500 miles a week. DH was arouand 500. wife passed away, kids are married, and dogs are supporting themselves.

only thing that killed me were the breakdowns.

i'm doing it again though. for better pay. newer truck and much lower miles. with a different company.

 

I pulled a tanker for Schneider @ 1.05. But they were giving a .45 cent fsc Making it 1.50 Loaded or empty. I was avg $2,200 bring home after fuel, truck payment, ins etc.
