    Default What to charge

    I have been away from the trucking industry for about 20 years. I am thinking about getting back into it. I plan on buying a used truck and just doing some southwestern U.S. driving. What is the average price the owner/operator charges to haul loads?

    Thanks

    About $0.85 per mile, according to C.R.England, Schneider, JB Hunt, Swift, etc.

    People charge less than it costs them to operate the truck usually.

    There is a website that lists average rates www.truckloadrate.com

    The teaser information is free. If you want any details you do have to pay.

    Thank you for catching that Yoopr.

    BTW do you still have snow there today? You got some snowfall this week didn't you?
