unpaid miles

That number seems high. You may have to be more selective about the runs you are taking depending on the company. There are alot of factors to consider with accepting/declining loads. Since your information is somewhat limited, I would suggest a review through the archives to educate yourself on what others are doing with the company you leased. Just on the surface it would seem you are straying out of their service or coverage area?

How many miles did you run loaded? We would add the loaded miles together with our dead head miles and that would tell us how much we made all miles. This would then dictate what we need to do in the future.

4000 dh for 7000 loaded sounds a little high. That's over 50%. If the numbers were under 40% I would say that's closer to reality for a lot of carriers.

11K miles total @ 9.5 mpg X 2.75 = 3,184.21 in fuel. 1.50 per paid miile (estimate) is 10,500.
Take out $ to Owner or your truck expenses payment insurance tolls.
3,184.21 minus 10,500.00 plus your expenses of operations of the vehicle 7,315.79 is just whats left after fuel.
Its not impossible to make a profit from that, but one needs to concentrate more towards a DH in the teens and not in the 30s or 40% range. To much $ is going towards the Arabs, and not you. Plus your burning that log book up for future runs. Unless your in a B unit.
I am basing this off of a D unit.

Last weeks "official" numbers
Total Loaded Miles: 4,314
Total Empty Miles: 269
When it's that busy DH is usually low.
