Let&#039;s see if I understand this correctly, a motor carrier does not have the equipment to make a haul, yet commits to the haul? A straight line haul of 160 miles or less, and charges for 588 miles, plus drivers wages, and trailer rental, which are normally included in the rate, and still ends up with $1.17 per mile? Is this correct? If so, I am in the wrong end of the business, as I must provide my customers with a trailer, a truck, protection of their freight from the elements, and drive the truck, no customer pays deadhead, for only about 8 cents per mile more, and often in todays market am glad to get it. Yet, my business is profitable. If I don&#039;t have the equipment to make the haul, I simply refuse the load, and leave it for someone who is qualified. On a 160 mile haul I could see about $600, hauling for minimum rate, nothing more, as there are many GSA approved motor carriers who would jump on it. Now, with that said, would you be so kind to explain for our information what the $1,481.71 entry on the July trucking expense sheet is all about? Might had been cheaper to Fedex it!
