3 Year completed

I read it as for a full year. My apologies

 

Ok, that's what I thought. If you do the math and extrapolate from that, he was on track to net, just almost $40k for the year. Remember that's his net after truck payment, fuel, maintenance, scale tickets, washes and eveything else related to the truck.

 

No worries, if that was a full year, I would be right there with you going that is very rough. Then I would go find that driver and beat him over the head with wet noodles while asking him why he's so stupid

 

For a lease operator or an owner operator, the numbers seem a bit low.
I ran as an owner operator for 7 years doing OTR flatbed.
After all expenses, payments, maintenance, fuel, insurance, licensing, road and fuel taxes, I still averaged between .57 and .62 a mile.
My average gross was 182,000 a year at 80% of load plus 100% of all accessoral
Charges.

 

He's on a dedicated home every night off on most weekends account. He isn't otr at all. Big difference compared to us that run otr and are paid percentage of the load.

If you read the rest of his posts and the numbers, you'll see at first that was his number for just this year. He posts further down what his other yearly numbers were and then his post makes sense.

 

Good job on completing 3 years. L/p is not for people to get rich quick, but to learn how to become an o/o. Hopefully new drivers see these numbers before thinking they can do it.

If u do it for the money, you're gna be disappointed. Takes years and dedication

 

Your home nightly as well?

 

Gotcha. On a strict dedicated run, if he averages around 40 a year, he's doing slightly above average which is nothing to be ashamed off.
