Hi guys, sorry for the confusion the Excel formula is wrong, the TOTAL is 2.25 Which is your break even Point. Thanks for the comments, and sorry about the Mix up. (Ronen)

[@stilliraise9201]

That goes down if you are in texas

[@stilliraise9201]

It means we should charge 5.25 as a flatbed driver

[@Gmail.comyama]

Break even 2.25, so drivers finding 2.25 pee mile for a load is breaking even? Many loads don't pay 2.25 now. Now is not a good time to be an owner ops unless you have a Ronen working for you?

[@pauliusmatiusovas4102]

As owner operator your expenses are minus driver pay. So you brake even at 1.6$. just the matter of how much you want to make after that, some people driver trucks for 0.1$ per mile maybe just to keep rolling

[@frankcasseus1271]

So where is this additional 65 cents coming from? Just out of curiosity.

[@Gunning-for-Trucking]

It only takes 1 major break down to make you realize $1.60 is not enough to run a truck! Good video keep it up

$1.60 It’s not worth it as a owner operator. Think about it, Be out of home for days, weeks, months, very risky job, all kind of weather conditions, and one most important thing, NOT enjoying your family, Better stay as a local company driver. But, thank you so much for your helpful information.

The way I do it, I ask myself how much it would cost me to run a specific trip before I call the broker or shipper. I take into account the tolls number of days working, price of fuel along route, etc. A short two hundred mile trip from connecticut to new york city can cost you eight hundred and fifty dollars, including tolls, driver pay, hilly terrain, and fuel. The same trip out west might cost me half of that to run. Shippers aren't dumb. They know how much they gotta pay to get their load delivered. Make them pay!

I really wish driver trainer standards were increased for the industry and I wish trucking companies owners would agree on a number to never go below. I know that sounds un American but something has to happen to make the industry healthier. My Dad drove for over 3 million miles. He represented drivers in teamsters negotiations and we lived better than most families. I started driving and was done real quick with how bad the customer, fellow drivers, trucking company owners, dispatchers, recruiters and many more treated the driver who was delivering the product.

[@poonetidestroyer8955]

Those numbers are standard for most carriers in the industry. There is not much wiggle room for profit in trucking everyone is making the same thing per truck(if running load boards) the only difference is how many trucks you have

[@kenneencail]

Its not easy to standup a Trucking company these days. Even if you’re starting with an older truck and put money into it yourself. Youre looking at needing about $50,000 cash at least and will likely be starting with another $50,000 to $80,000 of debt per truck and trailer combo to pay off over the next three years. And if you’re not constantly running truck/s fairly hard (yes 10,000 miles a month is hard) even for OTR. You’ll be out business within a few months. Most people watching this video will become “leased on” owners or drivers. folks who have a truck but not the capital or know how to actually get a trucking business started and in operation for more than 3 years. These drivers will actually probably end up driving for ET not competing.

[@christianroberts1167]

top two lines of the excel were .65, .65, the next two were .25, .25 and the number you say is 1.6? Thats 1.8 right there on the top 4 line items. The message was spot on, know and control your costs. My insurance year 3 is 6400 for the year, my truck is older its a 2013 so I dont have a high pay out if it were to get totaled which might explain some of the difference. I do know that my company hovers at 1.5 to 1.7 cpm in costs to run a week.

[@stilliraise9201]

I'm kinda confused. I was wondering if by lease on my truck ( still hasn't buy it) a Carrier for 3 yrs as an owner of but using their insurance would avoid these higher charges on insurance. Since I'm using my own authority but using their insurance and after 3 yr by using their insurance I can go by myself and would be less.

[@christianroberts1167]

I assume your saying you didnt pay off your truck, and you were wondering if leasing onto another carrier will lower your insurance costs. It all depends on that carriers specific insurance situation but generally yes you will ride the wave of their cheaper operating cost in terms of insurance. Unfortunately as far as I know if you dont keep your motor carriers authority attached to its own insurance it will become inactive and in turn if it is inactive for too long resets its tenure. My insurance broker has stated in the past he is able to reach out the the underwriters of the insurance companies and plead the case that they were lease ops with years of experience. He said that has worked to lower insurance for new carriers in the past but it wont be 20 grand down to 6 grand. goodluck out there @@stilliraise9201

[@mrrowdy6198]

You are awesome ❤

[@JTmovingweight99]

You get better fuel mileage if you run at 60-64mph but if your pulling heavy loads it’s pretty standard across the board amongst all types of trucks aero or hoods

[@DistantRelatives47]

Yeah it depends on the load, if you're pulling flat/drop deck where the load is bulldozer or something - you're getting terrible fuel efficiency to the point that the truck aerodynamics don't even matter 😅

[@robertutley566]

I would love to buy a truck and put it on with the company I work for mostly running local hauling steel. It’s a 40 mile round trip sometimes loaded both ways paying 160 each way and maybe an occasional run to Texas. We haul billets and pipe I would use their trailers with no fee. Love the old Walmart trucks drove one for about a year apu, fridge and inverter which would save fuel otr. Video was very informative and now I know what to figure in as costs, thank you.

[@blakejustice8212]

40 mile trip for 160 bucks is not nearly enough. You’d have to be doing 5-6 trips loaded both ways each day to make it worth your while.

[@ibrahimsalih5783]

$160 for 40 miles I won’t take that.

[@scottlmartin4429]

I agree with most of the numbers except repairs and maintenance. I feel that is a very low number to expect when planning

[@Sqwedgie]

I’m coming up with about $2.25 right now with my current truck payment ~$2600. Obviously, it changes with the miles you run and more miles mean less cost per mile. The trucks or trailers I’ve paid off I keep that factored into my average cost to afford buying new equipment. Don’t trick yourself once equipment is paid off to take lower paying loads, that just hurts the whole industry. The Freightliner dealer in VA charges $194/hr now I’m pretty sure it was $135/hr 3 years ago, but freight is paying the same….

[@humphreylolwana9404]

[@user-sw8sq8ch7n]

Can you make a video for box truck and their overall expenses?

[@arunevaiciulyte7805]

It's about $2.10 including a driver and I dispatch myself and drive my own truck so I can maybe survive at minimum at $2.10 but you have to look at your route to see if their are mountains that will extend your milage for a load. I usually average $4.20 for fuel because I plan a fuel route also and Cascadias get 6.7 average per mile unless all your loads are 10,000lbs people have to keep in mind that there will be maintenance cost and a inflame rebuild will cost eventually or buying a new truck will cost so a realistic price per mile is $2.65 minimum if not your headed for a brick wall because Any small company should have money building and saved in a account because paycheck to paycheck is heading fir disaster

[@DistantRelatives47]

6.7 sounds rough. I'm running a lot in Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountain ranges at about 75-79gvw and still averaging 7mpg if idling at night and 7.5 when temperature is comfortable enough to shut down. (No apu)

[@kennethsnyder9236]

Right now I’m averaging $ .494/MI; Driving 63/65 mph, getting from 7.4 to 8.0 mpg. If I need to drive slower than 63 I will to get at least 7.4 each and every load no matter the weight. Lighter loads I’m getting between 8.7 to 9.3 mpg. The heavier loads I will drive 60 mph until the percentage rises. I have been using this method since February 25th, 2021. I have seen in recent times that more and more drivers are using this approach and it is a good thing. If were an o/o I would still be driving the same way to keep my fuel cost down.

Maybe wouldn't be such a high turnover rate in this industry, j.s.. please share a spreadsheet with us..

[@johndonovan7018]

i disagree on non operating expenses being in the cost per mile calculation. insurance, permits, trailer fees, medicals, hazmats, etc etc are running regardless if your truck is moving or not. they are fixed permanent expenses (business expenses). cost per mile is best based on moving/running costs. how much does it cost you to MOVE the truck. if you dump everything into your cost per mile, you will price yourself out of the load market. other costs are calculated as term costs - monthly, weekly whatever period you want to use. thats how its done in aviation when i worked in that industry and i can tell you, people fail there far less often because they generally arent stupid and know how to actually calculate margins :)) you take your cost per mile in operation, you take your fixed expenses. you then determine how many miles (or hours flown) you need in a billing cycle to break even. anything on top is gravy (profit). thats how its done. anything else you are setting up for failure and why truckers are always broke and most run back to company drivers after failing on their own.

[@20jallow]

If you did not add the fixed costs associated in running your trucking business to your weekly or monthly operational costs on per mile bases, where is the money to pay for those expenses gonna cone from? As a motor carrier in the trucking business, your revenue comes from per mile charges on the loads you move for a shipper(s). Therefore, you can only profit if you know your cpm on all expenses related to your trucking business or else you run the risk of under charging your customers.

Not good like you but briefly here goes.. 65 mph I could barely ever even make 600 miles and I'm talking a whole shift not 9hrs.. So unfair and disappointing.. So these drivers in 65mph trucks maybe getting 10000 miles and that's if they worked the whole month or probably 28 on 2off again so unfair not only to them but the ones that matter or count - i.e family, loved ones.. We sacrifice alot the list goes on and on.. They probably have to do 1or2 resets again torture.. besides practically working the whole month..You get the jist..So here are roughly numbers just using rounded general numbers..65mph truck whole monthly 10000 mls 2dollars is 20000 revenue.. We'll use the lower number for my scenario 11000 mls $2 - 22000 revenue.. 65mph truck 8 mpg 1250 gallon 4.50per $5625,, not 65 7mpg 2021 freightshaker Detroit 1570 gallons 4.50per $7065... 20000-5625=14375 ___22000-7065=14935 i didn't get into all the other stuff but looks just by this you have well closer to $600 more income per month..That benefits you,, please do a spreadsheet.. Not to mention some are doing 13-14k mls monthly; anyways, here's the biggest or most important one you're drivers are not out the whole month working, getting frustrated missing their fam,, sitting at a truckstop on a 34 reset.. I've come across a limited few whom like spending the wknd at a truck stop, that's atrocious majority of us if we have to do a 34 I don't have to mention we like to do it at home period!! I ain't mention how badly it screws with your logs,i.e hos.. Again i try and stay 9-9.5 hrs 90 percent of the time and average is roughly 625-675 per day..

I am so tired of Canadian companies selling out to appeal to an American audience. You must realize how difficult it is for Canadian aspiring trucking entrepreneurs to find the data and numbers we are looking for in CAD to help us be better informed and prepared for going into business? So why not establish your online presence earlier on to connect with your fellow Canadian audience first? And then down the road where you are open to the American market that way as well?: Perhaps by starting a separate social media presence just for the American market if that is the path you want to go down while continuing to look after your Canadian content would be the best way to go. I feel like starting a company here in Canada is done so much more on the blind side because Canadian companies and general trucking organizations who provide resources do not look after and provide proper Canadian content to Canadians. It is a shame. I will do things differently. As I go along, I will put in the extra work to keep proper accounting and journaling my progress so that I could be a strong accurate source for my fellow Canadians. There are many Canadian companies, not just you, who I share this frustration for.
