Hello Family Happy Sunday Questions: Any suggestions of rates for hazardous materials being shipped in stainless steel trailers??? We are a small carrier based out the North East region who are looking for broker or shippers that works with new motor carriers. We have five years of experience leases to a private carrier and now is we are currently independent. All suggestions are appreciate and feedbacks are welcomed. #Eachoneteachone #NewTrucking #TruckLife I can be reached at [email protected]

My rates and FSC are based on the current CPM to run the truck, including, but not limited to the cost of maintenance, Tires, Parts, Labor $/hour, Driver expense (O-O or Employed are different CPM), Insurance - ALL TYPES, washes, tolls, PrePass, Administrative costs, permits, fees, membeships, office costs, licensing, etc. Once you know your CPM, then you can build rates that provide profitability. If the broker/customer doesn't like my rate, that's O.K. - there are approximately 14.93 loads per truck/day available. It costs less to sit for a day, than to run at a loss of revenue. I don't like to sit, and we don't stay still for long.
