Believe everything you hear? And if so, there's always more to the story. It's like when Chevy tells you you can lease a new Corvette for $399 a month.

Grossing $12k a week sounds like a lot of money...
before fuel
before permits
before pilot cars
before police escort
before maintenance cost
before taxes.
Forgot to mention that quite a few places will hit you for a couple hundred bucks just to set up your trailer.AModelCat, JonJon78, cke and 1 other person Thank this. -
Yeah. And maybe his truck and trailer cost a half a mil. And its usually the best week not average.
There are many truck drivers that like to stretch the truth just to impress.
Always check multiple sources before making big decisions.cke, thelushlarry and kptnt2016 Thank this. -

What you need to do is gather alot of information over time. Cross check that information and build a business model from that. Also hedge on the conservative side to compensate for inevitable variances. Make sure your personal obligations can be satisfied. And if you decide to move forward, be prepared to work your butt at least at the beginning.
kptnt2016 Thanks this. -
Yeah but why lie nobody is impressed with it... well many dry van guys running 3k-4k a week with their awesome frieght shake. But still, dont be ########.

What was not mention was the load/dimensions. That will determine more of the net amount.
width/height means money. Permits, and truck expenses.
LS is going to take their cut FIRST.
12 knocked down to 9000
Permits/Escorts could be $4000
Fuel could be 2000
sounds like $3000 to me.
