Acceptable rates?
I just bought truck (on payment from man with authority) and was wondering what these rates compare to. Until truck is paid off from him it is on on agreement I run under him and he gets loads for most part. Here is breakdown for 2 loads this week.
475 miles
Crushed cars (pay based on weight):
$880.25 (this load)
$132.04 (for use of authority, etc, 15%)
$300 (approximate for fuel)
$0 fuel surcharge
$176.05 I pay my driver (I am tied up with physical crap right now)
$272.16 total net for load, not putting anything back.
466 miles
New steel (loaded same place crushed cars are delivered)
$475.32 (not including fuel surcharge)
$71.30 (authority use)
$282 (approximate fuel use, better mpg bc shorter load and less weight)
$95.06 to my driver
+$144.46 fuel surcharge, truck gets, driver or man w/authority doesn't get)
$171.42 total net for load, not keeping anything back
What you guys think about this? New steel gets me back home to load more crushed cars. I am car crusher so cars are mine, well most of time, pay my truck same as all others.
Guess what I am asking is $443.58 ($0.47/miles, after fuel, authority use and driver wages) enough?
Yes I am getting own authority after I get truck off so the 15% authority holder gets will be gone.
Please chime in, I would apprecriate it.
