Get on with a good company and $1000 a week is easily doable in a company truck pulling a van. I know because I do it every week, just calculated last week and since January 1 this year my average net pay has been 1,047.38 and I go home every weekend. I'm not one that hates all leases but this one sounds terrible. Several expenses are unaccounted for and with perfect 3k mile weeks and no breakdowns you're hoping your pre tax check is the same as mine after taxes. I understand the value argument of working towards owning the truck but I also understand the value argument of free time not being spent fixing it. I understand that not everyone needs to make the same amount to be happy but I for the life of me can't understand why someone would choose to make less when more is so easily obtainable.

total mi 1381 x (.90 + fsc.26)-.15maint= $1394.81
my truck is getting 7.5 mpg so 1381 /7.5=185 x2.36 gal=$436
$1394.81-436=$958.81
+$50 driver assist
+$20 per stop= $60
total $1068.81
thats the break down of my first trip i did another trip that week that was about the same mies +5 extra paid stops and a driver assist
ok lets hear what you all have to say but im happy so far and sittin at home typing this
one more thing someone mentioned if i break down well the tow is covered under my maint and if truck is going to be down more than 24hrs i will be issued a loaner truck at no charge -
As long as you're happy that's all that matters. I have to ask though, the $1068.81 you received, how much of that is set aside for tax?
