Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member.	Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member. I AM UNCLEAR WHEN YOU SAY $2.50/MILE. ARE YOU MEANING $2.50/ LOADED MILE OR RUNNING MILE? A PERSON ALSO NEEDS TO KNOW MORE INFO. $2.50 PER RUNNING MILE IS AWESOME IN TODAYS CLIMATE, $2.50/LOADED MILE CAN BE ACCEPTABLE AS WELL. WHAT YOU ALSO NEED TO KNOW IS NUMBER OF MILES PER DAY EXAMPLE $10/MILE AT 20 MILES PER DAY YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR BUTT.($200/DAY) $10 PER MILE AT 100 MILES PER DAY IS A POSSIBLY A HUGE WINDFALL DEPENDING UPON OTHER COSTS. ALSO YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOUR COST PER DAY IS. WHICH IS CLOSELY FIGURED BY ADDING YOUR MONTHLY COMMITMENT PLUS YOUR AVERAGE FUEL USAGE PLUS YOUR AVERAGE REPAIR COSTS PLUS YOUR TAGS PLUS A DAILY WAGE TO PAY YOUR SELF. MANY JOBS ARE LISTED BY THE HOUR WHEN YOU HAVE UNDER 100 MILES TOTAL DRIVEN PER DAY SO $90 PER HOUR FOR A 10 HOUR DAY MIGHT BE A GREAT WAY TO FIGURE THIS TYPE OF HAUL. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU
