Guys,
I have recently asked you many newbie questions from heavy haul operations perspective. I am now pivoting to financial planning so I need your help with understanding a very critical point please. For all you lone rangers out there, the ones who are constantly hustling for business on your own, how many hours do you run annually? A ballpark number with an estimated breakdown between loaded and empty miles is all I want.
My estimate is that annual miles would be around 100000 with 80% loaded and 20% unloaded. I am basing my guess on the fact that heavy haul travel time is restricted a lot through most states. So 10 hours of driving a day for 250 days at an overall average speed of 45 miles an hour is a little over 100K annual miles. Is my guess reasonable?
Regards,
Singh
