    I did not point you point specifically.
    My point is you can't believe anything anybody posts on the internet, that goes for everybody.

    My expenses include my pay and a profit margin. The 10k would be extra icing on top of the icing on the cake.

    If you get $1500 on a 400 mile run where I get $2800 on the same run, which is more savvy? No amount of penny pinching is going to bring your net to mine.

    About 74k to myself after tax. About 8k to the business, but the business put 35k down on the 2022 389, 15k down on a new Utility combo, 90k out of pocket on a 40x80 fully finished and equipped shop. On 91243 miles. But we can both agree 2021 was a banner year.

    No real O/O is going to show you his books. I just got asked today by a competitor hauling out of the same place what I charge. Nice try. I kept lips closed. If your leased on who cares you are just an employee. Leased on has no business to speak of. I have no reason to doubt or get upset at your operating costs. None of my business.
