Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

After a 7 hr unload and 3 canceled loads last week. I still manage too gross $4100 for the week. It's getting harder, trying too put loads together..

 

Gross means nothing. Net means everything.

 

You got that right. I love telling my bank what my gross is but they keep asking to see my net. Lol. What's that nonsense all about

I know. This was a slow week for me.

 

Jeezus......That's almost what I bring home in a month.

He said net....show all of your truck overhead.

I mean 100% of us do that when we deduct a lease payment, with only insurance and fuel deductions. If I had came before the new requirements, I could buy a 2003 Columbia for $17k and easily do that too.

I still could buy a 2010 and newer POS and bring it on, but I'm almost done with trucking...and I'm definitely done with Schneider.

Not bad at all. Assuming you didn't have to run your ### off doing something stupid like 3k miles.

 

You can do that too, save up, pay cash for a truck, and learn how to work on it. Find a company that makes you happy and you will have the same pay check.

 

That's really really sad. Food for thought, a good company driver position pays 65k a year minimum. That breaks out to just over $5416 per month.

 

Yep. I've owned brand new and I've owned 30 year old junk. Guess what? Not a single customer offered to pay a penny more once i bought a brand new truck.
