It gets somewhat complicated on the answer to that one lol
exclusive use of 53' trailer is considered the same as if they had 20,000 lbs of freight.
Given that to get the account and keep them satisfied, the sales people offer huge discounts. My cut was 45% of the calculated linehaul. From there I had to pay for fuel and tolls. IL-IN tolls, OH tolls, NY thru-way, 75.00 to just cross the GW bridge, CT, MA, NH, ME tolls as well. After all that and fuel I still put close to 2K in my pocket though. Too bad I couldn't run a couple of those runs a week.
Only reason I went through CT instead of taking NY thru-way to MA then to ME. I slipped a small shipment on the ass end going to CT on the way for extra 400.00 cash in my pocket. What old navy didn't know won't hurt them since I was there on time for delivery.
My closest guess on the cost for the company to get exclusive use since I wasn't priviledged to such information, around 8-9K. I only got 45% of calculated linehaul. The other charges, etc I have no clue about as they had to pay for the labor provided by the local moving company agents, truck, fuel surcharge(which was also given to me), interstate tariffs, etc.
The only information I was ever given was the parts that I received something from. The company is making billions. I can attest to the fact that the drivers are not lol. Still made decent money for 5-6 months of work though.
Btw picked up a nice snowblower from one of my customers almost brand new. He sold me troybuilt snowblower and riding mower for 800.00. Slightly used and in excellent shape. Sold riding mower for 500.00 to a friend as I already have a Deere riding mower. Which reminds me I need to check fluids etc on it as snow will be flying here soon.
Self propelled, 24" snowblower that did great last season. Electric start but have never used that as it starts easily on 1 pull and it is definately much easier on my back and makes easy work of clearing the driveway. 300.00 well spent in my opinion.
