I work the Phoenix to Van Horn, TX dedicated shuttle for Swift. I brought my truck from outside of Swift, and its paid off. My current 26 week average per mile is $1.49. My current 52 week average per mile is $1.41. 560 miles one way x $1.40 is $784 one leg or $1568 gross round trip. If you don't know your 26 and 52 week averages for revenue, expenses, fuel mileage, hours driven and tax withholdings then you are a poor Owner Operator and most probably leaving lots of money on the table. I use Pro Trucker IV software in my iPad. Every receipt scanned, picture taken and entry I make gets transmitted directly to my file at my CPA. Great investment.
I buy all of my fuel in Fabens, TX, at Shell. Its always 12-15 cents less oer gallon than Flying J/Pilot with the Swift discount.
I drive 10 days on/5 days off. I live in Tucson on I-10 so I get 1, sometimes 2, overnights at home during that 10 days of driving. I see 6-7 frosty mornings a year, and see snow once every 4-5 years. There are 2 hills at Benson, AZ and 1 hill at Las Cruces, NM, the rest is flat 75-80mph, I cruise at 66mph , the center of my truck's highway mpg sweet spot, El Paso traffic is sometimes a bear. Shuttle loads never exceed 34K pounds, usually 22-24K pounds. I've averaged 8.86mpg for the last 52 weeks.
The lesson here is that Swift has hundreds of niche routes you learn of word of mouth.
