Ohio Truck in Sandusky

GB

Uhmm that's $1.57cpm and change. That is not 3.00cpm take home. I wouldn't own a truck to run 1.57cpm.

 

Exactely. I lose 30% . Guess what i hustle that 30% back from the broker. I have bad day good days who doesnt. Pulled alot of ice cream loads at 4.50mi over the summer. Currently getting pork loads at 3.75 4.25 mi . I could careless about the 30% really . I get alot of perks from the company. Tolls 50% off . I stay off the east anyways couldnt tell ya last toll i ran tolls maybe oklahoma . Says alot about a company when you do a lease program (which i dont) and they allow you to book your own freight of the boards. How many companies do that. I can only name 1.

 

So you made roughly 2200 after fuel. Not a good deal at all. To each is own but I don't consider giving away 1500 a week to run under someone else's authority to be some great thing.

 

It's not what you're "getting" it's what you're losing. And you're losing roughly $1500 per week. Add that up monthly. Even if you cut it in HALF, it's still a minimum of about $3000 a MONTH you're giving away. Again, to each is own but your words are reading just like the battered wives I see posting on the Lease Purchase subforum here on TTR.

 

Your using this week over all i have done well i have a 2016 glider with 192000mi i will have it paid off 3 yrs early. 70% isnt as bad as you think it is. When my note is 156000 on the truck for 6 yrs with a 5yr 500000 mi warranty that cost me 7000.00 overall my trk has value . Check the ads its worth 90g i owe way less. The warranty increases it more. So no im not getting ripped. With this company my profits have been plenty . Including a Pole barn i park my truck in. You can live very well on 70%

 

So how much more do you think i will pay in primary insurance trailer rental factoring loads lose my fuel discounts. Im telling you i live a comfortable lifestyle at 70%. New Pu paid off 2 months ago 3harleys in my shop. Own my home . Your not gonna tell me you cant make it at 70% . I was local for 17yrs at 70% most of my assest were accumilated from my local gig that dried up due to shipper out of business thanks to Obama. You can make it at 70%. I have for alongtime now

 

If you're using their trailer, get cheaper insurance, and cheaper fuel I can see making off 70%.

 

I been working half of my trucking career at 70% . I do extremely well . Grant it i have 3 rental properties i bought with lease contracts so i have extra income there as well . But at the end of the day i purshased those properties with 70% . Im telling you 70% is not a rip off. Your looking at the numbers left behind. I look at what i got and where it has got me in life . Time off i have each yr . This yr already i have 3.5 months off and prob take another month off during holidays. Sorry i love 70% .

 

Everybody has different business models. Im single live a comfortable lifesyle. Cost of living is cheap where i live that helps alot as well. But for anybody to say your getting ripped at 70% is a fool.

 

"He beats me because he cares."

You're not cut out to run your own business. I got it. It's certainly not for everyone. I know I can "make it" at way less than 70 percent but that's not why I bought a truck. That's not why I've busted my ### to get where I am today. That's not why I'm continuing to strive for even more next year. I actually run my own business from every conceivable direction. This gets me 100 percent of what I want. I don't do it to "get by" and there's no way I would let $36,000/year slip through my hands to one more leech. That makes you the fool. I'm glad you're happy. It's just hard for me to understand your mentality that's all.
