Conestoga Profitability Per Month: Flatbed Drivers Can Make More

Описание: You guys love numbers… so let’s break this down together.
National average flatbed rates: $2.72 per mile
Conestoga loads? 15–20% higher
That puts you around $3.10 per mile.

At 10,000 miles per month, that’s $31,000 gross revenue.
Now let’s subtract:
• Fuel (6.5 MPG @ $3.65) → $5,615
• Driver Pay ($0.75/mile) → $7,500
• Insurance → $2,200
• Truck Payment → $3,000
• Trailer + Conestoga Kit → ~$1,550
• Dispatch (6%) → $1,800
• Factoring (as low as 1.5%)
• Tolls, plates, maintenance, load boards…
Total expenses? ~$24,465
What’s left?
👉 $6,535 profit on top of driver pay.
So, the real question is…
Is that extra $350–$400 per month for a Conestoga worth it?
