    Yeah, thats the way it works, if you can't run a business or have never run a SUCCESSFUL business you will not make it as a L/O or even an O/O. Every penny counts, and having a plan counts. Some of these guys get shown a statement from their TNT L/O trainer and get told you can do it to, then others of them think cool I can get this big truck and go all over and do what I want take all the time off I want and I will make a ton of money.

    It's not about how fast u go cause I do 58-60 mph in my slow truck (lol) everyday all day , an it's not about tha miles because I get paid percentage , it's about how many loads u can do.... an yes it does depend on your dispatch an everyone is different , u dnt have to kiss no butt either , communication is tha key ... Peace!!!!

    I'd like to see after taxes, take home pay averaged for the year, with taxes and health insurance taken out, running 62mph.

    Single statements, with guys paying no health insurance, and doing 55mph, is not an apples to apples comparison with a company driver. This is what fit my classmates in trouble. Listening to hype.

    What I see on that partial Statement is the dates for OCTOBER. which very well could have been a high month. What really counts is year to date numbers, not a single 1 week period. So Slim what was your net numbers for the whole year??
