Saw a truck today offering $1.05 a miles for owner operators. I'm still laughing

I swear I've seen an ad for a carrier offering a tiered rate for owner operators paying 89 cents on trip miles over 1000.

 

Not at the time when they pay $1 per mile.
Last time I remember 1.30 in Denver, CO
20 c per mile.

 

I challenge you to name at least 7 out of the 1000 you literally know about.
Hell, name just one only.
1 ton is 1000 kilograms. By weight, it is impossible.

 

Who say so...nobody hauls 1 dol per mile today. Certainly not White Volvos out of Chicago.

 

Most of the time they also have a fuel surcharge.

 

Where did you get that huh?
White Volvos, they live in half a million houses and travel home in BMWs. How can they manage that on 1 dol per mile?
Stop spreading hate and misinformation!

 

About the f...ng things you said.
Only one post. You know what.

 

Be careful. They deleted my photo of a white Volvo from Chicago, accusing me of "trying to hijack yet another thread."

 

There signing up everyday. Thinking they are making money....

 

Most of these companies paying by the mile pay for a lot of truck expenses that guys on percentage pay themselves. For instance, I was running for percentage and my costs were $1.48 a mile. I ran for mileage for a short time and my costs dropped to $.66 a mile and I was running for $1.33 for all miles. I made money but I wouldn't want to do it long term.
