What Is Considered Cheap Freight ?

Most guys figure $1.50 per mile,to the truck,for expenses.
If you can make $2 per mile,and make 50 cpm,seems fair.
$1.80 per mile,your making the same as a company driver,with much more responsibility.

 

Cheap is whatever doesn't make enough to pay yer bills and have some left over

 

you are asking a ? that does not have a gold standard answer everyone has a different version of what is cheap

 

Question,
Need to move 350 miles to get loaded for a $3.00 per mile load, 1200 miles paid... I take a load for the 350 miles that only pays $350. The load is light, quick load and unload, does not interfere with the next load. What is wrong with taking that cheap freight? it reduces my expenses to get to the next load, gets me out of a dead freight area.

 

if you are not a part of the solution you are part of the problem if you were not already going you would not consider that load would you ? so you just trapped yourself into hauling for below your normal bottom rate or maybe you have no bottom, try to think longer term

 

That's crazy smh. Sometimes I do connecting loads like that when I got a big DH to my money I load but my standard still remains the same. If it doesn't meet my minimum req I don't haul it. 1.00 per mile you just wasting time

 

Another thread with no absolute positively correct answer.

I'm going to start one on why brunettes are more attractive than blondes.

 

1. How much is your fuel cost?
2. How much do you pay for fuel?
3. What does your truck average on fuel mileage?
4. Is your truck/trailer paid for?
5. Expenses to be paid each month?

Do the math first find your magic number, everyone's is different. The above list is not detailed, its a generic list to give you an idea.

You need a reading comprehension class. Stop drinking the Facebook kool-Aid.

 

Brunettes are SOOOOO much hotter than blondes.
