FLATBED: Achieving $8000 Gross And Impressive $3.1 RPM – A Successful Week
Week 25th Sep – 2nd October On September 25th (Monday), a truck with a 53′ flatbed trailer completed a delivery in Philadelphia, PA, wrapping up a load from the previous week. Philadelphia, PA isn’t typically the preferred destination for truck drivers, but when a high-paying weekend run presents itself, it’s absolutely worth considering. The following Monday, this truck was en route to Broussard, LA, with a total gross revenue of $8,000 at a rate of $3.1 per mile. It’s important to note that the national average rate per mile that week stood at $2.2 RPM, making this performance truly outstanding. This particular driver, operating under a lease-to-purchase arrangement, consistently aimed for both high revenue and strong RPM performance. Their goal was to surpass the national average RPM while still grossing around $1,000 per day before accounting for truck expenses and operational costs. Here’s a breakdown of the loads they handled that week: Mays Landing NJ – Scranton PA: $1.100 | 48 miles Deadhead | 173 miles Loaded | $4.98RPM | 46500lbs | Commodity: FAK Orwigsburg, PA, to Valley City, OH: $1.050| 70 miles Deadhead | 361 miles Loaded | $2.44RPM | 43500lbs | Commodity: Trees & Nursery Products Canton, OH, to Camp Hill, PA: $2.000| 52miles Deadhead | 300miles Loaded | $5.68RPM | 43680lbs | Commodity: FAK Aberdeen, MD, to Duncansville, PA, and Pittsburgh, PA: $1.050| 77 miles Deadhead | 286 miles Loaded |$2.89RPM | 48000lbs | Commodity: Building Material Clinton, PA, to Broussard, LA: $2.800 | 20miles Deadhead | 1200 miles Loaded | $2.3RPM | 42000lbs | Commodity: steel product As an additional information to this need to mention that average DH this driver was running was 53mi and average range of the loads on the loaded miles was 464mi.
