    $41.5 * 12 / 52 = $9,577/week gross.

    That's nothing amazing. Its actually quite pitiful.

    I run 6-8 weeks then take 3-5 weeks off.... that way I can enjoy the money i make..

    This is gross per load plus fsc. As you can see I do 5 loads a week and am home for 45-46hrs each weekend...

    I blocked out agent and load numbers 20220819_134836.jpg 20220819_134814.jpg

    I was delivering a load to a Sam's Club the other day when a Prime driver came in looking for an mt.

    This guy liked to talk, and talk and talk.
    He told me he went L/O as soon as he could and made $180,000 his first year there.
    He talked non-stop for a solid 20 minutes.

    I then told him that if he was just there for an mt, why not just make yourself known to the guy unloading my truck?
    It was SO nice once he left.
