    $5500-6000 minimum gross, $3500-4000 net after fuel and budget for all fixed expenses.

    Independent/own authority, Monday-Friday work, sleep in truck 1-2 nights maximum per week.

    Your results may vary.

    .
    are you saying you only accept pay per mile?

    hogwash.

    $100 an hour x the amount of hours worked per week, owner choice, is profitable to the truck.

    70 hour week, is $7000 a week gross.

    50 hour week, is $5000 a week gross.

    Still doing better than the average OTR driver in a time worked versus gross intake

    Who are you to decide a driver needs to work the same hours every week.

    my answer remains.

    $100 times what ever hours I feel like working in any given week.

    long live local work and the freedom to choose.
