Deal or Start Looking Again

Might need to hunt another forum to ask then.

 

1,000 per week net is not 100k a year, at best, it's about 75k before taxes. I can make that and more, all day long running those miles working for Wally, wearing a white shirt and getting awesome benefits on top of that. Risk vs reward is just not there based on your numbers. You can sugar coat it all you want. I can't help you on a local/regional lease, but I can tell you you're at the bottom of pricing so it shouldn't be hard to go up. My first truck was leased on to a mileage carrier, and I averaged $1.25 a mile, in 2002. I was getting robbed back then too!

 

Lolol. I figured up an average and if I figure in mileage what I make it's @.61/Mile and I don't pay any expenses.

 

Oh I see. You work 52 weeks a year and never have any time off. I gotcha

 

sell your truck and go be a company driver or go percentage somewhere else.
$1.28 is disgusting

 

So you're only figuring on $0.09/mile for maintenance? Good luck with that.

...and that's just the start. As I touched on before, you've left out quite a bit from your calculations. Reality will hit you one way or the other...either you'll listen to those who have been at this a while and make the necessary adjustments, or you'll keep thinking you know what you're doing until you're broke.
