You work for XYZ trucking and your boss has asked you to figure out how much the firm should charge a new customer to make a full Truckload delivery and make a 10% profit. The firm knows that it will find a backhaul customer, so you only need to worry about the cost for the move. The shipment consist of 500 boxes weighing 90 pounds each, and measuring 4 cubic feet each. The trailers that your company uses can carry 46,000 pounds and have a volume of 3,600 cubic feet. You calculate that it will take 4.5 hours to drive from your terminal to the customer's factory, wait for the truck to be loaded and return to your terminal. The distance between your terminal and your customer's factory is 30 miles. Your line haul driver will then take the truck to the consignee and deliver the boxes. The total distance from your terminal to the consignee is 1100 miles and will take the driver 35 hours. Once at the consignees it will take 4 hours to offload the truck. Then the driver will go to the XYZ trucking terminal in the same city, which is 20 miles away. What would you recommend to your boss that the price should be set per cwt to complete this move?
