Where to go O/O?

lol what's the old adage: "if you want to get a million dollars out of trucking~start with 2 million and wait a year"

 

Van can be tough in that area. Ask Rollin about the past couple days .

But, if you are willing to be out more than a week at a time you take the pinch coming out of NC, run the good lanes then can do decent going home.

Flatbed will have ups and downs but even the down will be at the average van rate.

So depends on what you want to do and what you are willing to do.

Michigan is not as bad as NC in my opinion as you are sitting near a good freight area for vans.

And any O/O that is willing to adjust to freight needs should be able to earn $90k before takes on 2400 miles a week. Just stay away from a mileage based lease. That $.30 less per mile is all profit you are loosing and it takes a lot of extra miles to make that up. That's over $700 a week to the mega carrier or over $30K per year. Most of the guys that I interview have to push near 3000 miles a week to see $60k a year. Some of the better ones may see the 70's on a good maintance year.

Good luck
