What he said lol..I'm with ACT as well for about a month and 1200 is avg after expenses 2 weeks ago I cleared 2100 after expenses. Drive a little slower and not give all you're money to the fuel stops helps a lot.

They don't call it fleece/purchase for nothing.

I wonder how many of them put back all their tax $$ to pay quarterly.??...I'll bet quite a few don't thinking..wow, look at these huge. Checks.

I'll bet that that the $60k is gross revenue.

No the $60,000 is what I have had deposited to the bank after all expenses which include fuel and truck payment and insurance and everything. This weeks gross was $8900 and net was $5820. My credit sucks from dumb decisions I made years ago and I was scraping by at the time but then the economy went bad and I had some time off due to an injury. Gradually paying all that off. Let's just say at one time I was paying $1400 a month in car payments since I always had to have the newest nicest new cars that came out. Now I make more than I ever have and drive a 13 year old car I paid cash for.

Nice grammar...

I be thinking

to put away 25% for uncle Sam till I figure out a way to pay him less (corp/LLC?). I already spoke to an accountant and he will send me the quarterly estimates that I have to send and at the end he will do my taxes with all deductions/perdiem. Yes my credit sucks also, but that was by choice and it made me some money few years ago. I also put aside $$ for medical and vacations. So in reality I make the same as a company driver at Schneider but I'm paying a truck off.

I'm done here, no point to talk or argue with ignorant people as they will always be right in their mind and try to convince others they're wrong. Everyone that haven't done it know better since a friend of a friend went through it and told them it sucks and can't be done.

You all have a great day and Happy Fathers day to all fathers.

Yes what he said except I only put back 20% and my credit sucks as well due to a lot of medical bills my wife and stepson had a few years back and also a few bad decisions I made back in the day. But now I'm trying to live like no one else so later I can live like no one else as Dave Ramsey says

. Later I may do something else, but for now I'm coming out of the hole and paying things off that I could not do before. Just because some of us have made mistakes in the past, does not mean we can't learn from them and become business people and succeed. This may not be the best way for everyone, but for some, this is the way to go. Have a great Fathers Day to all the dads out there.
