What is your CPM ????

[BigDiesel]

My Pete is $ 1.19 and my Freightliner is $ 1.02 these include trailers and current fuel prices. What is yours ????

Don't bother answering SteveBooth or NotSteve, because you have no idea what your CPM is....

[Red Clay Rambler]

When you say those include trailers, do you mean trailer payments?

[sidman82]

My cpm is $2.88 including my salary. Without salary it is $1.63. Keep in mind this is based on local work, with low mileage

ROTFLMAO

Now that's funny. What are running your refer on, Burger King used oil? What about maintenance, depreciation, insurance, plates, IFTA, heavy road tax, blah blah blah.

Sounds like your the one that does not know how to run a business.

Lets see a breakdown. The only way I can see you running a truck for that is if your siphoning fuel out of the trucks next to you.

[Rev.Vassago]

So what is your CPM, Steve?

[no_worries]

BigD, do those figure include driver compensation? And I assume you're asking about purely operating costs, so not including any ROI, right? I'll get mine in awhile.

1.35pm

[solo379]

Estimated $0.95 a mile. Tractor only, lease to company. Including everything, before any wages, or profit.

[heavyhaulerss]

i pay my co .28 cpm to haul the loads.. lol. j/k but it appears like its headed in that direction.

[Professor427]

If your an owner operator, your CPM has to reflect ALL operating cost, both fixed and variable. Fixed includes truck/trailer payements, all licences/permits/running rights, insurance, cell/wireless computer costs and accounting services. Variables include fuel, repair, maintenance, tires, tolls, safety checks, fuel taxes and dead head miles.
I recently did a spreadsheet for a friend of mine who just bought his truck and trailer and runs under his own authority. His CPM, figured at our higher cost fuel in Ontario (approximately $4.37/U.S. gallon) is $1.23, without driver compensation.
When you run all the numbers, it's pretty obvious that fuel - and fuel mileage - are two of the biggest components to controlling your costs.

Then you should figure it in cost per hour :wink:

[BigDiesel]

I did not include salary and ROI. Both trailers are paid for.

Again.... SteveBooth/NotSteve.... you have no idea what your CPM is...
So..... Move on.....

Would love to see what you think yours is though......

[DD60]

I didn't think Stevebooth was Notsteve. OR is it the other way around? THis whole Stevebooth/Notsteve has got me confused.

[tankyanker]

what is ROI?

[nsxman2001]

what is ROI?

ROI Means (Return On Investment)[/list]

[sidman82]

Yes, that is Steve. I do think he knows his cost per mile. I just think he loves seeing you guys try to get it out of him.

[solo379]

ROI Means (Return On Investment)[/list]

Or simply, Profit...

[no_worries]

$1.12, not including driver pay or ROI. That's reefer with our own trailer and 200,000 miles.

[rank]

~1.90.

Poor fuel mileage, expensive fuel, expensive insurance, a poor US exchange rate and only 210,000 miles a year makes for a big number.

Includes:
-Fuel @ $4.50 US dollars per US gallon & 5 mpg average.
-Drivers pay
-$75,000 in parts and labour
-$45,000 insurance
-3 trucks ammortized to zero when they are 5 years old (4 trucks actually, but 1 is fully ammortized so I don't count it for CPM)
-4 trailers ammortized to zero over 10 years (5 trailers actually, but 1 is fully ammortized so I don't count it for CPM)
-210,000 miles (from previous year's IFTA)
-also include stuff like load boards, cell phones, base plates etc.
-does not include tolls, employee benefits, pension plan, employment insurance....
