i-5 corridor

You didn't say anything about where the load out of Seattle is going. If it's L.A., think about it, basically 1100 miles....so your range of 500 -750 would equate to $0.455 - $0.682 per mile...however, if those loads go to Sac or Bay area, 750 miles...then you are looking at $0.667 - $1.00 per mile.

Divide the rate amount by the miles equals your pay per mile. Do you know your fixed costs to run your truck? Insurance, fuel consumption (per mile), permits, plates...all expenses involved in operating your rig per mile....this is where you start by knowing your costs to operate. any way you look at it...what you stated as rates out of Seattle...how soon do you want your attorney drawing up bankruptcy papers?

 

Sry driver...just like otherhalf said. They trying to make u a sucker BIG TIME. Good luck and take care. Be safe out there drivers.

 

Round numbers your fixed expense is going to run between .55 and .60 cpm depending on fuel fluctuation.

Seattle to Los Angeles 1100 miles @ 0.60 =$660.00 they pay $750.00 so you make $ 90.00 for your time and trouble...... I would think again before you leap... Even a tire repair sends for you into negative money for weeks..

 

1.39? How much are you going to pay yourself? Or do you just want to maintain the truck and drive it for nothing? Consider if you were driving someone else's truck. YOU would be paid $.xx per mile, that would have to come out of your employer's costs. Why do people forget to PAY THEMSELVES?????

 

sound cheap to me you will be hauling it south for free or accually paying them to haul it $.66 a mile wont even pay for fuel

 

great screen name to be hauling refrigerated foods LOL..... i love it.

 

One thing I noticed, if you will be leasing to a carrier the insurance should not be $8400 per year. You will only need physical damage and bobtail. 3-5 grand per year depending on driving record and value of the equipment and such.
