[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1465169, member: 14585"] Yes, $2.50 - $4.00 per loaded mile is pretty much standard here too, with $3 the most common. Just pointing out travel time has already been well compensated. Service truck/vans charging $3.50 mile tick me off (I'm old and remember when a Buck a loaded mile was standard) Of course the Bus driver doesn't pay for bus ect..... those expenses are already strongly covered at $1.975 mile in the $2.25 loaded mile breakeven rate. I was just pointing out I even included $15 hr for driver in calculating breakeven of 2.25 True breakeven is even lower than $2.25 per loaded mile. p.s. Many spend 20 - 60+ minutes daily traveling to and from work on their own dime for less than $36 hr jobs. 240 miles @ 75 cents mile cost of owning and operating a service van/truck = $180 $3 x 120 miles = 360 - 180 = $180 240 miles at 48 mph = 5 hrs 180 div by 5 = $36 hr p.p.s.s. For service work/repairs... do you recommend a 15% tip too? :) [/QUOTE]
