ATRI's average fleet operating costs: Spot market rates in perspective

Average operating costs (including compensation for the driver) for fleets was used in this example to illustrate the fairly weak profits available to fleets at current spot market average rates. Using Overdrive's Load Profit Analyzer tool for the basic calculations, this example illustrates profit (loss for dry vans) on a represntative Dallas to Chicago load (950 miles, 2 days) booked at last week's dry, reefer and flatbed spot market average on DAT load boards.
