                    IMPORTANT 
        FOR OWNER  OPERATORS

As the owner and driver, you started your business with the intention of making money.  Although you may not cut yourself a paycheck, you must factor in a MINIMUM expected pay for your work.

 

Remember as the owner you keep all profits.  You want to include a minimum gross payroll amount (paid or not) in determining your Cost Per Mile or Cost Per Hour.  

 
YOU DO NOT WANT TO CALCULATE A COST PER MILE  OR COST PER HOUR THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE DRIVER PAY!!!
