How is that? Does every company big and small lie then? Look at all of the jobs for drivers. Please explain why we won't make any money.

$4k/month payments will make a big dent on your ability to put alot of money away. -
Yes, but we have ZERO bills. I just asked the wife and our payment is more around $3000 a month. It was about $145,000 all done and we put $35,000 down on it. We don't pay rent or a mortgage either, so like I said we live in our truck. Its fun hey.
-
If your wife is an accountant she can do the math. My formula is conservative, if you have to pay $4,000 per month on truck payments you will only make $2,500 per month profit.
Does Bison pay for insurance or do you have to. Insurance for a new truck could be over $1750 per month with collision.
You need at least 12,000 miles per month to make a living out of it. Also it would be better if you can cross into the USA.
We are just trying to help you out. -
Yes, companies are looking for drivers. But companies are also very aware that lease operators make them a lot more money than they can make with their own drivers.
If you had something that could run offroad like hauling pipe ti pipeline projects I could give you names and numbers to call. Big shack Volvos are not made for this type of hauling. -
Your numbers are real low. Where are you getting that we are only making $4000 a month. I am using Bison as an example, they are the worst case for us. Most places, including Trans x pay more and pay for plates. Our plates cost us $650 a month. We should be able to get 16,000 miles a month easy and get around $1.45cpm on average.

My numbers for plates may be off a bite, but I know that they don't cost us $2000 a month. My wife handles all of that and yes she drives.

Hey trouble 65, why do you think that plates are $1750 a month? We are based out of BC and have clean records.
