    Just enough to be able to afford to keep trying to make more.

    I'll just leave my answer like this.
    Running dry van, average about 1800 miles a week, average about 55 hrs a week, I'll make about $7,000 more this year than last year.

    With me it's actually kind of the opposite. I work for a cool guy out of Pennsylvania. He owns like 4 trucks. So I don't actually get healthcare but he has never told me when I can or can not take home time, he pays flat rate by the day.

    I feel like a lot of youtubers just talk #### because I see very few of them post rate confirmations with a spread sheet.

    I appreciate their cooking blogs though

    Cooking blogs, lmao. There are some that show the ppwrk, but it really makes no difference. At this point it is around 1k a day when truck is rolling.. net. That's what I see.

    No sure about owner operators barely making it, or little better than company driver. I averaged about 1100 per week take home as a company driver. As an o/o I average about 4 times that, and get way more time off.

    That’s crap pay. My drivers gross 1700 to 2300 per week on w2 with no Health insurance. (Just mentioning insurance as I have a couple haters on TTR who would point it out.)
