    I’m pretty much checked out on this being a legitimate way to make a good living. Between repair bills, fuel, insurance, and truck payments there’s basically no money left to live on. Yea bills get paid but so what making the bare minimum sucks. I can’t wait to be done with this, hands down the worst business move I’ve ever made.

    I have a dedicated lane from Fort Worth to Tyler, that pays $6k a week. But I don’t matter something is always messed up. I made more money at pretty much any other job in about half the time

    So you are driving 260 miles a day and not doing great but not bad on fuel. Seems like it is not a bad gig but your truck seems to be older and most likely one of the emissions nightmares. Either upgrade to newer truck or get out since it is not that bad of a gig based off that information.
