Authority is $300 for life. How do you get $100 a month?
Figure I would get in on the fun ![]() By the way, my cost with wages and no profit for company is $1.67 a mile. It must be all miles driven or you can throw that out the window. So if I did $2.00 a mile thhat would mean .33 cents a mile profit. By the way, that is hub. Deadhead will increase that #.

Lets take an owner operator that has the following monthly expenses: authority $100 road taxes $500 maintenance $1500 Another thing I would add to sidman's observation is the road tax and maintenance charges. I rarely spend more than $75/quarter, which is $25/month. If you watch where you purchase fuel you can keep this cost to a minimum. Spending $1,500 each month on maintenance is a lot of money.

I put $1500 is because anything lower and people would have said maintenance was too low.
