Okay fellas. Obviously the end of the year is upon us. Well it is approaching rapidly. I have had some ups and downs for sure in my first year of business. I lost one great customer this year and left another. Either way with roughly 108,000 on the clock for the year. Where would you expect your gross to be? I am talking realistic numbers here. I do believe that with my 48x96 reefer, working pretty much 28k per quarter that I am gonna be right around 200k gross. Granted I'll probably be closer to 110k on the clock but hey who's counting? This by the way is for every mile rolled. Loaded or empty. Lemme know what you all think.
The final numbers began rolling in

Sounds like you got me beat by far ! I started 5/22/2012. I've spent a good deal of time in the office and working on the truck, trying different things, etc... Hopefully next year I'll be able to run a little steadier miles like you. Right now I've put 41,477 miles on the odometer and grossed $77,572.70. On a positive note, I don't think I'll owe much in taxes...

There's good reason why many don't owe much taxes in this side of the business
dannythetrucker Thanks this. -
Is pulling a reefer with a team worthwhile as an owner operator? I'm just curious about this because I have a friend who lives in Arizona and I've always thought about buying a truck and pulling a reefer with it and running does produce loads out of the Southwest back into the Northeast

milskired - keep a couple of things into mind.
When teaming, you are going to have to pay the other driver - and driving team can be hard - so make sure he/she gets paid well - and that means keeping the truck rolling. If you can find the freight, run it, 6000 miles a week.
The good thing about teaming, is that your weekly expenses are roughly the same - maybe add $100 a week extra for maintenance if you're doing 5500+ miles a week.
Your fixed expenses roughly stay the same (not counting fuel), but your revenue could double. So that's like an extra $1,000 a week you're saving by running team.
Other than that, I don't know crap about produce.
I hope I didn't tell you things you already knew. -
Your gross should be more than $220k, otherwise you'd be better off as a company driver.
