| Gotta have more information than that. Rates are all over the board depending on how far you're going and how long it takes to load and unload.
We're getting corn trucked 50 miles right now for 13 cents. Paid 12 cents for beans into KC 35 miles and some loads had a 2 hour line. I know of a man who offered to haul corn 85 miles one way for 18 cents.
We're getting $85 per hour for our dump trailer, but I've never found any grain that would pay that well.
Old rule of thumb is you should be getting 3 times the cost of your fuel on longer hauls. If your fuel costs you 60 cents per mile you should be getting at least $1.80 per running mile. That was back in the days of 4mpg trucks. If you've got a newer one that is getting in the 7's or 8's I wouldn't consider that enough. It also wouldn't apply if you were just hauling 15 or 20 miles. I'm talking about something that runs 400 or 500 miles per day.
