krismoriah Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 if you are getting gallons per mile..quit.. sell the trucks.There is no formula for what you are asking..what tonnage? flat land? down hill? up hill? Are these CH models dumps or tractors?If i were bidding a job based on fuel I would bid at 3 miles per gallon plus your other expenses..if that doesnt get you profit then its probably not worth it. $5 a mile u can put a little in your pocket...around here. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31701-diesel-consumption-rate-in-gallons-per-mile-or-litres-per-km-for-1999-mack-ch/#findComment-190763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 $70+/hour, anything less is not worth it, just figure out what it will cost you to do, drivers? how much fuel(how far, what kind of truck etc) permits?, insurance, truck payments, you get the point.

j hancock Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 If you already own the trucks and keep records for miles run plus the fuel receipts from other jobs, you can do the math and answer your own question.

dds92780 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Ill make it simple for ya. 5.0 to 6.5 depending on workload or hills and if you have a lot of stop and go. You can see 6.5 if you are constantly on the road. Quote Slow and Steady Wins the Race!
