    SMH, I thought that you saw the error in your thinking in that other thread, and realized after the heat that you took that your "projections" were just not feasible. But that's ok, I mean, what's the harm in "leading" some folks to believe something that is not attainable?
     
    Ruthless, Roaddell, SMTatham and 4 others Thank this.

    All my numbers are real. Just because you can't make those numbers doesn't mean i cant. Since i hired my first driver, the truck has made around 3k per week after expenses (aside from driver). I pay him between 1200 and 1800 a week depending on the loads hauled. After his pay the truck is making over 1300 per week. We also found a leek in the turbo on my other truck. Fixing it i just piced up half a mpg, so that should save some money.

    Keep in mind that this survey is of folks who own and drive their truck, there is nothing mentioned of hired drivers.

    So that tells me if his driver is making $1,200+ a week that driver is making $60,+ a year that's all the profit left on the table I'd like to know where the other $50,k a year comes from that he will profit
