    If you took home every week between $2,000 -$2,500 every week after fuel, fuel taxes, escore and be home and off every weekend would you consider that as doing okay? Thats being honest? Thats running 1,800 - 2,100 miles a week.

    How about adding in truck/trailer payment, insurance and other overhead type expenses?

    I would consider "take home pay" - to be the $$ I can spend on things OTHER THAN trucking-related.

    There's a big difference between "$$ to the truck", and $$ IN MY POCKET.

    $,2500 a week - NET/NET would be a decent money for a solo/single truck O/O (IMO)...

    If that was net that's real good but like others said. What actually goes to your pocket is probably less. If not and you need someone who is willing to work for that amount let me know

    You didn't add the rest of the expenses but, assuming you've taken them into consideration and that is your money to send to the house, I would be very happy to work for that income.
