Question: Given: Running a milk run from Burbank, CA with stops along the way. After the initial pickup in Burbank, CA, there will be 6 stop-offs

Given: Running a milk run from Burbank, CA with stops along the way. After the initial pickup in Burbank, CA, there will be 6 stop-offs to pick up more freight, and then final delivery will be in Chicago, IL. Total miles = 2140. TL Rate = $1.05/mile & fuel surcharge = $0.64/mile. Stop- off charges = $100 for 1st stop-off, $150 for 2nd stop-off, and $300 for each additional stop-off. What is the total TL cost? What is the freight charge if we consolidate all 6 shipments in one truckload? Would it cost less to move all 6 shipments with a TL milk run? compare this total cost to the combined cost of 7 individual LTL shipments (initial pickup in Burbank + 6 additional pickups) .
