An o/o at 1.70 a mile will be a broke hungry o/o

 

That's 500 mikes a day six days a week. If your truck is paid for and diesel stays low you will be ok. There must be some f/s worked in there.

 

$1.70 Canadian dollars is $1.30 in US dollars.

You're going to be running BC but you mention miles instead of kilometers, so which currency are they paying you in?

 

Well that sucks then

 

3000 miles at $1.7 is $5100. $4000 left after fuel expense.
$6000 per month easily would take care of all the truck expenses and you get to net $10000.
I have no idea what kind of gig you are running, but it looks like my understanding of hungry and broke o/o is completely different than yours

 

Working on the presumption that every thing is done in Canadian he will be burning 1800+ liters of fuel for a 3000 mile run at 1.31 +/- pr ltr is a pretty hefty chunk out of his pay
