How much do you need to gross per truck per week?

I always figure $1000 a day for every day I'm on the road.

 

check that out.

A spreadsheet I have put together. Adjust it to your conditions.


Yeah,

I'm for hire too to the highest bidder.

 

3k a week min

 

$3,000-$3,500 a week; after all expenses..seems like average from what most guys are saying on here

 

I don't mean to sound harsh but it's going to come out that way. Also making it clear that I'm referring to company trucks. As the business owner it's your responsibility to make the decision and carry it out. If my company drivers "called it quits" after the truck only grossed $3500 for the week they would be looking for other driving jobs. If you own the truck, you call the shots. I respect my drivers, I drive too, so I wouldn't ask them to do anything I wouldn't feel comfortable doing myself. I value their input, and when I say I expect more than $3500/week that doesn't mean I run their wheels off (they're home 2 days every weekend). With that said, my trucks will be utilized to the fullest, just because you reach some arbitrary number doesn't mean that you've done good enough. When you think you have got it good enough, that means you better keep working your tail off for when times are tough. Remember not so long ago to a little thing called the recession?

Enough preaching from me, just don't get pushed around when ultimately its your butt on the line for your drivers' ignorance.

 

wanna use my services? I can guarantee you a minimum per truck that will make you drool! My price will be reasonable.

 

Last week he didn't make any money. He spend more in fuel than he made. Any advice from experienced drivers on how he can guarantee to get a paycheck each week?
