Check my numbers

Insurance and truck is 1200.00 a week, and fuel is a 1000.00. Where is the 2500.00 expenses coming in? Are is this 2500.00 plus the 2200.00?
If so your in the hole!

 

Numbers sound about right to me.

 

Ok, still floors me how much you guys pay for leases.

So 1440.00 after taxes per week, not bad but I would set up a maintenance account on my own and put the 440.00 in it. Check with a CPA on how you can make this non taxable; and if you never use it..then pay in the end, so the 440.00 become more before you tax the 2k.

 

Who the heck pays $1200 per WEEK in a trk payment and insurance??
A Brand new W-900 with 150k PH/D on it wont cost you $1200 a week (Assuming you finance the whole truck)
Stupid Lease Purchase is for the Young to get their eyeballs opened wide
and $1000 a week in fuel is average I guess. I Never burn that Much....but some do

I Tell the Young guys when I see them....."if your serious about being a trucker with your heart in it 100%...

You only have 2 choices to Crest the mountain and succeed financially-
1.Become a Union driver with premium benefits
2.Become a Carrier with your own customers

Any Other direction will be a tough climb, Also, I lift their Spirits by telling them they CAN become a Millionaire driving a truck (It does happen)

At 22 years old, Put $30,000 per year in a High Yield Bank Account 3-5% interest...When your 45 years old,You Will be a millionaire with the discipline you provided throughout the years plus interest
