Owner Operators pulling propane or refined fuel

Their trailer. Their liability. 75% you pay for tractor repairs, fuel, tolls, OCC HAZARD, ELD, and insurance on your tractor only based on replacement cost, and NTL or bobtail.

 

The company should tell you what their rates are. Compare that to your operating cost + desired profit to determine if it'll work out in your favor or not.

 

Guess you didnt read that part.

 

Most pay 67-75%…..

 

I believe he meant rates, what the company charges, to pull the current product as opposed to an owner operator or lease rate.

 

Yeah I read that part, that's exactly why I said "the company should tell you what their rates are." The carrier knows what the rates are that they charge the customers. As others have said, most pay 65% or more to the truck. OP needs to know what the dollar amount is on the rates so that he can calculate how much he'll make off the percentage, and then compare that to his operating cost to ensure that he will make a profit after all deductions are taken out and expenses are paid.

 

I don't think that was his question

 

Most companies around here are at 70% to the truck, they provide the trailer and haz mat insurance. At some point you’ll have to sit down with them and talk about their rates and what they’re going to provide. I wouldn’t do a mileage contract with a bottle.

 

If the carriers rates are not high enough to sustain an oo business at whatever % is worked out; it is certainly part of a list of questions that need answered.
