We can officially call it the floor of rates

Depends on what ur CPM is. Mine are low as only thing I gotta worry about is maintenance which last year was $.13 a mile with some big item repairs. Then insurance of $230 a month then just fuel cost. My CPM last year was $1.17 a mile. That's with first couple months of my truck payment(paid for now)

 

You don't pay yourself?

 

Of course I do. $1.17 is everything needed to the truck everything after I pay myself. Currently been paying myself over $1 a mile..

 

I'm not buying, 2020 Pete here last year my maintenance cost was nearly double of your million mile truck. Something is off? NO major repairs here

ouch…

 

zombie O/O -they don’t know when to quit. Walking dead/driving broke

 

My biggest repair last year was 10k dropped the transmission for a rear structure and clutch. Had about 22k in maintenance don't have the numbers in front of me. Of that 22k I had steers put on so that was like 1400 in December. Rest was just stupid #### that needed fixing. Maintenance will probably be higher this year though as I wanna drop different axles on the rear.

 

Ok well I am not good at math . But paying yourself 1 dollar a mile with a 1.17 all in break even cost doesn't really make sense to me... or if you mean 1.17 a mile is breakeven plus paying yourself 1 a mile would be 2.17 a mile... am I understanding this correctly

 

Just checked maintenance was $.21 a mile

 

Offered a load today, 3 hr deadhead in the wrong direction, then 1200 to the drop in Toronto.
Paid $1650 to me. Passed. And got attitude for it. I'll have a little vaca away from the snow I guess. If I'm sitting for the weekend d here I'll rent a car and head for my friends place in florida for the weekend maybe?
