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:

  1. Mays Landing NJ – Scranton PA: $1.100 | 48 miles Deadhead | 173 miles Loaded | $4.98RPM | 46500lbs | Commodity: FAK
  2. Orwigsburg, PA, to Valley City, OH: $1.050| 70 miles Deadhead | 361 miles Loaded | $2.44RPM | 43500lbs | Commodity: Trees & Nursery Products
  3. Canton, OH, to Camp Hill, PA: $2.000| 52miles Deadhead | 300miles Loaded | $5.68RPM | 43680lbs | Commodity: FAK
  4. Aberdeen, MD, to Duncansville, PA, and Pittsburgh, PA: $1.050| 77 miles Deadhead | 286 miles Loaded |$2.89RPM | 48000lbs | Commodity: Building Material
  5. 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. Also average weight he hauled through the week was 44736lbs which is not the best maybe but considering the average RPM we consider it as an great performance. It’s not going to be a lot if mention that every load booked was over the national average RPM including the empty miles.  Driver and the company owner were very satisfied from what this driver achieved.
