Owner Operator Income

Lol best joke I have heard all week!

 

Is 2.00/mile avg easy to obtain?

 

The California to Washington lane is over ran with idiots who run triple brokered cheap freight. Do your research and weed out the “joker broker” and find a real one. Preferred would be one not named “Gill” or names of such.

 

What is the average $/mile for loads from Brokers/loadboards in the US starting in MI for Dry Van?

Is $2.00/mile easy to get because I am trying to base my calculations at $1.80/mile... which is terrible when I calculate profits... Something must be wrong either $1.80 is too low or my expense to operate at $1.55/mile not including waste is too high

I have never operated in the US/long haul. I operate flatbed in Canada so kinda trying to get an idea and some calculations from experienced O/O in the US.

 

$2/mile is easy to get out of MI. Plenty of 200 mile $400 freight out there you can go broke on.

Help yourself.

 

That's terrible lol, 2$ minimum for 500 miles + is what I mean. Less than 500 miles is worthless unless it pays well over $2.00 to $3.00.

Is this easy to obtain?

 

You can do well just doing Ontario pa ny nj md oh mi in il wi.....
I'm assuming you're based out of Ontario and interstating is not an option..

 

Hey friend, I'm actually going to be relocating into MI later summer in 2018. Trying to get an idea on some of these USA lanes only and which ones to consider having my trucks run.

 

West MI is good but Detroit and Flint where I live suck. Even right now Detroit and Flint sucks.

When a broker calls and asks you to go Midwest 500 miles to MI and then has the balls to say "we usually cover this for $1000", are you gonna have the balls to ask for $1500++? Or are you gonna take it? That's the difference.

 

MI to PA is okay but PA to MI sucks. If you go 400 miles into PA, $1000 is terrible. $1200 is normal broker rate but even that's too low. $1200 per day is what you should be averaging. PA 400 miles to MI pays $600-$700 so you would need $1700-1800 to go there and no broker will pay that unless they're desperate to not tick off a customer.
