Many seasoned owner-operators realize that their “cost per mile” is more than just fuel and maintenance. To calculate a true break-even, add up all fixed costs (truck payments or lease, insurance, licenses, permits, loan interest, depreciation) plus variable costs (fuel, tires, tolls, repairs, permits) and divide by the expected number of revenue miles. Also account for downtime, deadhead miles, and administrative overhead. The result is the minimum rate per mile you must secure in owner operator trucking to stay afloat. Adjust this figure whenever your cost structure or utilization changes.
