Average revenue needed to survive.

Learn to read then I'll reply

 

No I can get my own authority and stay with prime revenue jumps from 72 to 77 percent

 

It's picking my own loads that has me looking at a change

 

Here ya go. Enjoy picking thru the numbers. This is an average week. This is recent 7100 revenue 4800 miles. After all expenses 3250 net to me and 655 to the wife totally 3900 to the bank. Great week I net 4500 to 5k bad week 2k net.

 

I understand your philosophy but buying used is a gamble. I know my truck Is new and trouble free for 500k miles under warranty. I think it's preference over actual savings not all truckers get lucky on a low maintenance used truck

 

You can run anyway you want under prime. With or without your authority. Lease or own your truck and all variations of the above

 

Having my own authority thru prime would do 2 things. First allow me to 1099 my wife and save some tax or payroll workman's comp cost plus it would get me another step closers to full control. Yes it will come down to cost vs effort on the stay or change. So many owner operator make it sound like they are starving which makes you take it slow. I heard the same ######## that a lease can't make it and I blew that one out of the water
