Not sure how to calculate your cost per mile (CPM)? Not sure how you can choose loads that will only make you profitable? By determining your fixed costs, your variable costs and your total miles driven for the month, you can calculate your cost per mile.
In this video, Samantha, who’s been working with drivers on their settlements since 2012, will explain more about how you can estimate your fixed costs, variable costs and miles driven.
Fixed costs include:
• Truck payments
• Insurance
• Federal Highway Use Tax
• Technology rentals
• Accounting services
Variable costs include:
• Maintenance account
• Fuel
• Tolls
You should calculate your CPM every month or so as the market fluctuates. Adjusting your CPM regularly will help you stay profitable.
