    Open ended question, but I made around 2,500.00 to 3,500.00 per week heavy haul after it was all said and done. But then that was before all the scabs came out of the wood work and cut the rates.

    Two good places to get started:

    OOIDA website for a business plan.
    Farm2Fleet for freight & profits estimates.

    I officially retired last month. Didn't work for them. Two drivers that work there post on here often; one husband/wife team with a strong business background chose the company also & they talk straight.

    I would expect when people give a number after expenses that it includes taxes. After all, that is likely your biggest liability aside from fuel.

    Hi Chinatown,

    Are you out of truck driving altogether? Enjoy your retirement, stay well.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!
