I just posted that cuz it was the lastest year I have numbers on. Also I assumed this question was about the cost to operate just the truck - its various expenses, etc. So pay wasn't included. I don't consider pay an expense, neither does my accountant. Pay comes out of your profit.

Also remember the more miles the lower your fixed cost because you have more miles to spread costs over. Your right fuel has doubled, but since we get a good FSC my pay has increased too. READ: NOT AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE!!! But whose ever paid what they really feel there worth anyway? Besides the CEOs of all these great trucking companies, wonder how fuel is affecting the great JB Hunt's take home pay? I doubt it is. : /
