Rate for grain hauling

Only way anybody will quote something like that here is by the hour or day, 20 mile round trip is more loading and unloading than trucking. 1000 bu tractor and trailer rents with driver on something like that around $500 bucks a day or more. Really be hard pressed to find anyone that wants to mess with it unless you have a good buddy with a truck.
 
As a truck owner that does haul grain there are a lot of variables . Are you loading from the machine or from a bin? If you can load out in a reasonable amount of time some one might do a bushel rate. I would do a hourly rate that way I'm covered and you would be A LOT MORE MOTIVATED to get it done. Also a owner opp is looking to make 1200$ a day minimum to cover costs and profit.
 
In 2006 I paid $0.14 a bu. 26 miles round trip. I guess I would charge about .25 a bu with my 2 ton truck plus 15.00 an hour. ????
 
We do local and regional hauling. As others have said it depends on your setup.. How fast you can load, ease of access, etc. A 10 mile trip to town used to be between 6 to 8 cents per bushel. I'd do it for no less than 10 cents/bushel anymore. And that's only with the best equipment at hand. And with multiple loads a day. I myself primarily haul loads between 150-500 miles at a time. We are owner/operators. But $500 a day can go a long ways at $2.00 fuel.

Based on what the drivers who hauled corn for us last fall told me they were making per trip, roughly the size of their loads, I'd say about 25 cents a bushel at that distance.
