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 Al

People charge less than it costs them to operate the truck usually. :lol:
There is a website that lists average rates www.truckloadrate.com

Thank you for catching that Yoopr. BTW do you still have snow there today? You got some snowfall this week didn't you?
