$1.80+ Per Mile

DieselDriver · Jan 28, 2014

Mr. Mueller, I was reading the, Find Jobs portion of EO and found a PTL ad that states straight trucks make $1.80+ per mile.
Please explain to me how a solo straight truck can make that kind of money when you only pay $1.20 per mile, plus FSC which equals roughly .20 -.25 per mile, depending on fuel prices.
If you, the driver, can make that kind of money, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me how I can do it before I go bankrupt from low pay and NO miles.

Robert;

I understand you spoke with Scott yesterday on the 29th and received an explanation for your post. How about some postive props now where deserved.

Thanks,

There must have been a misunderstanding somewhere, my name is not Robert, its Keith and I have not spoken to Scott or received any explanations as how to make $1.80+ a mile with PTL, cause God knows I want to...and I will gladly and abundantly give props when props are due.
I don't want to make a big issue over this, but if I'm doing something wrong, I want to correct it.

Keith;

Sorry I had the name incorrect - likely result from me trying to address a problem posted by a driver on a public website behind a sceen name. When I reasarched the driver I thought you were we discovered the gentleman had been averaging $2.13 per loaded mile - thus my response.

Scott and Dan are looking into your past settlements to seek out problems or shortcomings. We will call you to discuss.

I try not to get involved in Operational issues - I've never dispatched a load in my life.

Thanks,
