Hi Greyhounds, <br />Depending on where you are, a solo Owner Operator can in fact be had for about $ .90 / mile. I had based my estimate on team drivers which means all costs double since you pay 2 drivers, run twice as many miles in a day, burn twice the fuel, double the wear and tear on the tractor, etc. Also, I was factoring that a good portion comes out of Southern California which is a more expensive head-haul market, but then again, it goes the other way too and if you're buying trucks in Jersey, its a fair amount cheaper. <br /> <br />I do hope that UP has a big whopping barrel o' pixie dust cuz they're going to need to sprinkle it across about 25,000 miles of track! ;-)
