L/O preferred truck?

Maybe I can answer why. Its all about the paycheck, not about owning, paying, being an O/O........ If you want to make a thousand a week drive a company truck. If you want the potential to make more, then go lease side..... Here is my last three weeks of numbers, no lies or bull, good numbers that will continue for a few more weeks until my trainee upgrades..... After he gets his experience, as a company driver, he can go lease and pull these numbers himself.

10/17
Miles 5,090
Gross $ 8,839
Net $ 3,948

10/10
Miles 6,081
Gross $ 9,818
Net $ 3,962

10/3
Miles 5,213
Gross $ 7,644
Net $ 2,532

The trainee makes 700 per week, that and taxes, fuel, and those high fixed costs taken from the truck and the Net is mine............

 

you do realize that an average is based on several numbers drivers that are doing well and drivers that are failing that being said he could very well be way above average I know I am .

 

Training pays.

 

but referrals are easier,


and pay better......... a lot better !

 

Hardly. You'd have to have hundreds of referrals for it to "pay better." Better rethink that BS claim numbers.

 

well it could pay better what is it 20 active recruits you get the ambassador truck for a year with no payments? That would be a big revenue increase

 

wait, you pay your trainee?
If you pay them can you fire them haha

 

I just ran the numbers, you're at $1.60 a mile

That's OKAY not nothing great, either you're deadheading a lot or Prime is screwing you on pay.

You shouldn't be getting 72% of $1.50 plus fuel doing reefer that's for sure

What you should be at is at least $1.75 a mile, at least loaded miles.

 

I thinks I'll be happy with what I got..............

 

That's about right for team miles.
