    Ran my numbers again. Since I started at ACT on 3/17/11 I have been paid on 76777 miles and I have taken home $43342.43 after expenses and .07 is already taken out for my maintenance fund. That is an average of .564 per mile after expenses and maintenance fund. So far I have paid $41818.43 for fuel which averages .544 per mile. On average I have ran 2326 miles per week and $1313.40 to the bank per week which includes weeks I have taken time off.

    They're busy making money I talked to an ACT driver in Oak Grove,MO last week and he loves it there,he also bought about $170.00 worth of chrome for his KW!!!

    Nice guy had nothing but good thing's to say about ACT, which was one of the top 3 companies I was looking into before going where I'm at now(only because of picking my loads,and ACT didn't have older trucks at the time).

    Those are the amounts he has taken home after expenses every week. I can vouch for them. His numbers pretty much beats mine every week.

    Great to hear from another act driver peanutbutr,sounds like hes doing great.Bignasty was on this blog and said he was starting at act.Maybe didnt make it or something,lot of guys make an app or show up and get rejected i've noticed on alot of different post all over this web site,seems like people tend to forget drug use,felonys and other disqualifying facts.

    Hey there BigKid2 I have enjoyed your thread and posts and replies. I have been torn apart about selling my 2006 Pete back to the dealer In April of this year(2011). I did latch on to a wind energy heavy haul company that I absolutely loved but alas I cannot wait til January for more work. Have talked to Mrs. Richardson about leasing a truck with ACT and was a little apprehensive but I like what I am seeing in your posts. I never thought after being an owner operator that an a lease operator made any money. I may be wrong on that front. She says I have a confirmed offer of lease. Not sure what that means but I am shooting for a Monday 14th orientation.
