I can’t say anything about that company but don’t be afraid of smaller operations. I’m only running 11 trucks and a brokerage and I’m probably one of the most secure operations out there. Sometimes the smaller guys are where it’s at.
We’ll do about 6m in revenue this year and make more money then plenty of companies doing 35 or even 50 mil. It’s all in the details my friend.

A shop?
Equipment?
Hard assets?
I actually looked them up and there’s a typical vague advertising entity. “You can make up to 8000 weekly“ that could mean literally anything. Lol what does “make“ mean. Is that really $3000 after all overhead abd expenses? Does it include deduction for unexpected repairs, down time, etc.
Sorry I’m just tired of the trucking industry getting away with slight of hand and misleading advertising about how much people make per week driving a truck. It’s so overdone.
when I’m inquiring about a new driving position the recruiters do not like me. Lol because I get to the bottom of the truth every time. I know what I’m going to make weekly or monthly.
As O/O taking on all that risk, you best be taking home $2500 very absolute minimum per week after every single expense to justify that risk / reward ratio, in my opinion. And I emphasize that the minimum amount. Because as a company driver right now, if you really drive hard you can make $1800 a week or maybe even more at the right company. And assume zero risk.Last edited: Dec 29, 2021
