Ok, that's what I thought. If you do the math and extrapolate from that, he was on track to net, just almost $40k for the year. Remember that's his net after truck payment, fuel, maintenance, scale tickets, washes and eveything else related to the truck.
No worries, if that was a full year, I would be right there with you going that is very rough. Then I would go find that driver and beat him over the head with wet noodles while asking him why he's so stupid
Well yes like Redoctober said I am on a dedicated account and I am home usually every week. Gross revenue: 94,460 YTD
2015 was $161,068 Gross. after deductions made $47,294 @ 115,646 miles about .40 cpm 2014 was $179,633 Gross. After deductions made $46,837 @ 110,218 miles about .42 cpm Still averaged about .40 CPM after mandatory deductions.
For a lease operator or an owner operator, the numbers seem a bit low. I ran as an owner operator for 7 years doing OTR flatbed. After all expenses, payments, maintenance, fuel, insurance, licensing, road and fuel taxes, I still averaged between .57 and .62 a mile. My average gross was 182,000 a year at 80% of load plus 100% of all accessoral Charges.
He's on a dedicated home every night off on most weekends account. He isn't otr at all. Big difference compared to us that run otr and are paid percentage of the load. If you read the rest of his posts and the numbers, you'll see at first that was his number for just this year. He posts further down what his other yearly numbers were and then his post makes sense.
Good job on completing 3 years. L/p is not for people to get rich quick, but to learn how to become an o/o. Hopefully new drivers see these numbers before thinking they can do it. If u do it for the money, you're gna be disappointed. Takes years and dedication
Gotcha. On a strict dedicated run, if he averages around 40 a year, he's doing slightly above average which is nothing to be ashamed off.
