Need help calculating expense per week

I hope you're not serious.

 

Your better off staying away from trucking if you can't see that your being rip off at .93 cents per mile.A exp O/O wouldn't touch anything less then $1.70 cents per mile even at $1.70 per mile isn't really that great either.

 

Come work for me driver. I'll pay you 1.10 per mile and run you 3500 miles per week.

My break even for the truck is 1.50 right now. This pays truck payment (or future truck purchase, a truck is never paid off), trailer, physical damage insurance, Occ/Acc insurance, permits and tags, maintanence, driver wage and corresponding employment taxes, medical insurance and a small general catch all fund. If you can't put a driver and pay him the prevailing wage, taxes and benefits, you are hauling to CHEAP and your operation is a house of cards just waiting to fall. We haven't even started talking about profit.

BTW, WTF is a tank of fuel? For me it's 286 gallons, for my old Columbias it was 220. Some might be 100 gallons. What is the MPG of the truck?

 

Is guy for real?First he said .93 cpm now he edit he OP and now its up to 1.60 a mile.So which is it????

 

Armin calm down, noone wants to see an angry bosnian even though I agree .93 is not enough, not enough for me at least

 

I smell a TROLL...

 

Don't worry i'm good,matter of fact this guy starting to make me laugh.
