Pricing your Truck Per Hour

What are you doing with their trailer? Pulling it long distance? Short haul with lots of waiting?

I ask this because I figure mine by the amount of revenue per day I want my truck to make. Then just divide that number by the hours working for the day.

 

Plus what kinda of work. Van, flat step dump, lowboy. That all figures into it also. Plus make it a mim 4 hour deal. So if you do one ld.and they send you home
Make it worth your time. I was on a deal last year. We got 4 hour mim.at 125 an hour, lowboy work

 

I was going to ask pretty much the same questions as @RStewart... just to give you an example..my father in law hauls sand and stuff like that in CA, his rate goes around $85 per hr...but in order to give you more accurate information you will need to provide more details.

 

Same topic but different chapter .... I only drove a truck as a truck driver on an hourly wage once and that was for a construction company. I received $16.50 per hour up to 40 hours in the work week then time and a half after that.

 

72 to 92 per hour depending on answers ^^^....IMO. 4 hour minimum...

 

So what's a typical day for you hours wise...how long it'll take you to complete your route in a day?? 5- 6 hrs? I'm not an O.O but just throwing some numbers.. i.e let's say that your operating costs will be 1.15 per mile...I'd multiply that for 60 (mph) =$69 per hr.. it seems you have to do stops and stuff like that...take those into consideration as well... that's my 0.02 cents

 

Any other bidders? No? Butcher away!!

 

The company I work for charges $105 port to port. You get charged from the time I leave our yard to the time I get back, within reason.
