The truck carries goods to and from a town covers a distance of 50 miles. On the return journey, freight is available only up to 25% of capacity. Assuming that the truck runs, on an average, 25 days a month, find out: (a) Operating cost per ton-mile, and (b) Rate per t...
Tiresaccount for about 1% of the total cost-per-mile for operating a truck, according to data from the National Private Truck Council and the American Trucking Research Institute. That works out to about 4-5 cents per mile. That meanstirescan rank as the third or fourth highest line item i...
