Profit and loss statements
Feb 53.46 cents a mile
Mar 47.40 cents a mile
Apr 41.73 cents a mile
May 26.00 cents a mile
June 42.46 cents a mile
July 33.51 cents a mile
YTD Im averaging 40.33 cents a mile . Was kinda hoping for better number than that but it is what it is.
Those number are based on income before taxes . So i still owe uncle sam . My current qtrly taxes due is 2500.00 based on a 10,000 mile month thats equal to 2.5 cents a mile . So now im making 37.5a mile to the house.
I Remember somebody saying time and time again when you lease your nothing more than a company driver making truck payments. Guess they where right . My old employer paid me 40 a mile so now im losing . -
A company driver making truck payments with no health insurance or benefits.

That's true but it doesn't have to be that way though .. That huge truck note is your issue if you could finance you one on your own you'd easily bring home 300-400 a week more not to mention the savings on the insurance rate ( cheaper truck )
some will say its a new truck it's under warranty .. If you take care of a older truck say a 2005-2007 it will take care of you regular maint is the key with older units ..
The other thing I see is your miles seem to be low weekly 2200 or less on avg .. You need more productivity out of them .. Have you spoke with anyone higher up in ACT about your concerns ? -

Get out of that crappy company, buy a truck and lease on somewhere like Landstar, where you dispatch yourself. No loads available over the weekend is just a stupid dispatcher. There is almost always freight lying around somewhere.
