rip-off john christner

I got out 7 years ago, got a good offer and never looked back.

 

Got out of trucking?

I thought I'd enjoy working in trucking management, alas, I did not and got out over a year ago.

 

Yes, retired at 62, took a little getting used to but I have enough to keep me busy and flexible enough I can come and go as I please

 

I would suggest when planning revenue, use 10,000 miles per month rather than 12,000. Considering winter weather and other delay. Annually, 120,000 miles seems more accurate to me.

 

You are so confrontational dude.

J/K.

 

I usually run between 10k and 12k a month. Just depends if I took home time, reset, or how many times I had to put a trailer in the shop. It will be around 8k for December because I take two weeks off for Christmas.

 

Whomever posted that about what does the company take back, hit on what I harp about all the time.

The L/P I did with guy I pull for now was $0.98 mile plus the FSC.

Insurance, IFTA, were/are dirt cheap. Plates were a shot in the dark too cause it's only like 8 states. No trailer rental. My truck payment was $550 week.

3100 paid miles a week = $1850 to $2000 week before taxes.

Oh and DEF works out to $0.01 mile.

 

Not sure if that's a joke.

However, seems like I was pretty close. Except the way the truck payment is structured. I figure most guys under JCT lease are making around .60 per before taxes. 10k to 12k miles a month would leave a guy with $1500 a week give or take a few bucks.

 

So do you consider that good, bad or meh?

 

@.40cpm a company driver gets paid $1240.00, in addition the company pays 7.5% of the wages in SS tax (driver pays 7.5% also) probably gets some vacation and paid holidays also depending on the company, and possibly a 401k with a match and health insurance, so in summary it's all in what you want or consider good or bad.
