Frequently Asked Questions
What does a delivery vehicle really cost per mile?
Fuel + maintenance + tires + insurance + depreciation ÷ annual miles. Sedans commonly total $0.50–0.70/mile; cargo vans $0.65–1.00. Most owner-drivers guess half their true number.
Why does depreciation belong in cost per mile?
Every mile consumes vehicle value you must eventually replace — 30k miles/year on a $35k van is roughly $0.15–0.25/mile of depreciation. Ignoring it means discovering the loss at trade-in time.
How do I use cost per mile in pricing?
It is your floor: any job priced below cost per mile × trip miles + driver time loses money with certainty. Quote from the floor up, never from the customer's budget down.
