Answer
Hi Thomas.

Here is a link that should help you.  Note that it's from 2003 and your fuel costs have gone up.

When talking with brokers, it's more of what the load pays versus what you can charge.  I get some loads off of www.getloaded.com.  Your learn quick which brokers pay good and which don't.

Good luck!
