1. 625 miles google maps, no one is running us 40 all the way down indiana, not on a next day. that will definitely drive wear and tear up and mpg down
2. Tolls
3. It wont be guaranteed covered and delivered next day 5 days a week even at your price.
4. 2.72 a mile at your high end counting 0 deadhead BEFORE you broker or cover any other costs?
Not to mention youre dropping a trailer that they may or may not be moved around by receiver? And those guys wont tear anything up im sure. 5. then what, sit a day till you can get it again?

Thats a 2 day load costing 50 cpm fuel.
2.5 x a week, driver at 55 cpm (assuming 0 deadhead and reloading back north with no delays gives a driver 1k a week (essentialy 3x 625))
Overhead on your truck is what? (I would want at least to cover replacement at a new truck per 6 years, so 165k at 10% interest is 40 cpm payment)
Trailer, 10 cpm
Tires, 2.5 cpm
Insurance? 16 cpm
_______

1.73/ mile assuming things are PERFECT
Thats at 5 loads a week, 52 weeks a year. AND assumes your backhaul is never under 1.73

But that blank i left, yeah thats taxes, 1200 a run puts you out of buisness at tax time or any problem. 1700 puts you out of buisness if you have a truck issue AT tax time.

do you enjoy not making money?
Or do you just not care about your customer, vehicles, and or pay drivers nothing?

I wouldnt do it for under 2k a mile for more than 1 load personally.

If you want to, go ahead
