Manufacturer direct shipping to store
You have key missing elements. Normally it is dependant on weight, number of stops, and mileage. I’m guessing your pricing at spot rate not contract rate. You also need to know who is loading at the factory and who unloads at each stop.
Figure out those answers and you can come up with a fair rate.
The factory is like 8 mins from my house. So me being local will help but all I know right now is its multi stops to A plus rental stores. Furniture shipping right now is crazy high why im goin after it

Manufacturer direct shipping to store
Im wondering what I should charge if I take A LTL load from a furniture factory straight to the stores multi stop. Itl be my first load ever as a owner operator. Im gonna be using a 26ft non cdl box truck. The stops Probably be in a 500 mile radius. Not sure if its touch/no touch since its going straight to the store. I figured 4-5$ a mile?

Im preaty confident alot of it will be factory employees and then store employees doing the unloading unless a store doesn't have a loading dock then I dont mind assisting. But my thinking is furniture and shipping it is pricey and cutting the middle man out should be a decent profit it should be within 500 miles for sure
