    I am considering getting into the business of petroleum transportation in Texas and the Permian Basin. I will only be doing short routes (well site to transload area) I am curious what the cost is to have crude oil shipped. Either on a $/ton metric or $/mile metric.

    Thanks so much.

    Usually by the barrel. I've never heard of oil getting shipped by weight.

    Agreed. OP is probably unfamiliar with anything in the oil business, oh wait, excuse me, “Petroleum Transportation”

    Metric miles? That sounds like even more of a rip-off than "book miles." :D
