Yep - to mess with all the freight hauling, that's fun right there. I'm being dragged off to the Monett speedway tonight by the neighbor - get my behind out of the house.

I'd say it is possible, but a few factors play in to that, such as truck payments, trailer payments, bills at home, etc and so on.
Blair seems to doing quite well at Landstar...At least I think so and it gives me hopes of getting back over there and in to a truck of my own in the future. Still enjoying keeping up with this threadOxbow and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
Well - had a chance to total up the numbers for last month. This is one of those starry alignments where settlements are up to date with the truck - translation - I haven't moved in 9 days.
I spent a few minutes looking at month to month expenses, revenue etc, but it all averages out to the following -
Quite a shift from last year - the % of revenue that we're keeping - last year was a mirror image, 57% expense, 43% profit.
This is driven by a much reduced maintenance cost, and reduced fuel. Last year maintenance ran .34 cpm - fuel .31.
'Supplies' had the v-twin pressure washer motor included , as I wash the truck with it, and the generator. So it's a little inflated, but not a lot.
$1.63 remains the all miles figure. Slightly less than last year if I remember rightly. My deadhead doesn't help - I see no point in spending a night or weekend out on the road if home is within 400 miles. I don't care, I've got a perfectly good house and nobody to tell me I can't go home.Liquidforce, Grijon, tsavory and 10 others Thank this. -
