DID YOU SEE THE TRUCKERS REPORT?
According to the Truckers Report and Inbound Logistics the average total cost to run a truck is waite.....waite.....($1.38/mile). So the issue is that might be close to the actual "cost of doing business" for some but I don't believe that is the normal. That figure doesn't even address PROFIT, remember that evil word PROFIT.
I am only writing this post to try to give some of you a glimps of why transportation managers think that $1.80/ mile is a good rate (because that would give you a 25% gross profit margin, and if they are giving you more they should be considered generous.
Sound Off if you will.
