I do deliveries of Corvette in Quebec for a local dealer Thibault GM. They have a closed trailer. We pull the trailer with a GMC Sierra 2500 with the 6.6l diesel engine.
On average it consumes 25 liters per 100km at 105 km/hr. The distance between Edmonton and Calgary is 300 KM time 2 for his return total ride will give 600KM.
At the actual price of the diesel, just the fuel will be around $375. On top of that, you need to add the driver salary which will take 7 hours for the round trip.
So at just $40 per hour you add another $280. Then what about truck and trailer depreciation and profit. So at $700 they won't make a lot of profit unless they can match another transportation on their way back to Edmonton.
