Dunavant; $200k yearly??

It's owner operator job.

Once you pay all your expenses you'll probably earn less than a noob in training at Western Express.

 

Yea thats pretty poor pay no matter how you slice it. Even at 5,500 a week X 52 weeks only gets $286,000. Home daily also likely means your going to be maxing out your hours ever day. Call it 10 hours of driving X 48 hours lets be conservitive and say 500 miles a day 5 days a week. Thats 130k miles. Devide that by lets be nice and say 7mpg call it 18,500 gallons a year at 4.5 a gallon and assumeing low average diesel to account for a fuel surcharge. Then your at $83,250 in fuel

So 286k is now 203K, remove a truck and trailer payment of say $2800 a month, so 203,000-33600 call it $170,000. Remove 13k more for insurance a year 157K now. Figure a monthly oil change, grease job apu oil change and general truck supplies of $1000 a month. $145,000 now

Take off $5000 a year for tires $140,000 throw on $25K as a general yearly repairs on the truck, broken lights bad water pumps overheads ect. $120,000.

Set aside $10,000 a year to build up a new truck payment or for a major "oh ####" like a wreck, medical issue, blown motor ect down to $110,000 now. Put aside another $3000 for yearly fees like tax prep, tags, a couple minor tickets ect $107K.

And i could keep going but i think you get the point lol id be suprised if an O/O keeps much more then $50-60K after all expenses and taxes on a good year. Could be better with less miles then im assumeing or a way better fuel surcharge and no truck+trailer payment but.....thats a pretty crappy gig at a blush.

Oh and this is assumeing absolute max pay. If we do that same math at the lower value....heh i could make more at mcdonalds working less hours and none of the stress.

 

Never believe the "up to" pay.

I've seen the lines getting into container yards.
Go luck being productive dealing with that.

 

Man the way you broke this down really makes being a company driver right now the safe bet. Those big gross numbers really dwindle down after the business is taken care of. Then you factor in the IF it's a "good" year without a MAJOR repair.

 

This is an owner operator position hauling containers. So $200K breaks down to $3,846 per week minus expenses such as fuel, maintenance, taxes, permitting, etc. The only company driver jobs that are even within a sniff of 200K are UPS, Wal-Mart and maybe specialized haulers and that would be top scale.

Walmart doesn't even come close to $200,000 a year! Good lord Walmart has drivers completely brain washed into thinking it's the best driving job on the road.

 

Please see @Arctic_fox post above. $200,000 gross as an OO breaks down to $80,000 (max) as a company driver.
