Semi gets around 6 mpg. So at the $3.85 diesel that is 65 cents per mile just for fuel. So you need to figure round trip so that has your fuel cost at $1.30 per loaded mile. The Driver usually gets a third of the gross: So $3.00 x .33 = 99 cents for the driver. So we are at $2.29 per mile without License, insurance, tires,oil, and equipment cost. My Semi"s license cost $5600 per year to go lower 48 states. The Inssurance is $4900 each year. So tell me again how rich you will get hauling $3 per mile frieght????????? Right now we are charging $4 per mile for anything under 200 miles.
Also remember that Less than truck load (LTL) frieght always cost more per mile than full load frieght. Like I said above come on in the water fine. Those that think that you can get rich driving a truck need to buy one and go do it. If I did not need the semi for my own grain I would not own one. My youngest son drives when he is not busy farming.
