The $255,000/yr. Owner Operator...

Could someone please explain to me the feasibility of the average owner op income reported in the following link, and what kind of net income it might break down to? Some of the O/O incomes on Indeed are pretty wild, but this is the most wild I’ve seen.

I’m assuming it’s total revenue by the tractor before all taxes or expenses.

I’m still researching the general costs of an owner op, so haven’t much to go on. Looks like great money even if the truck ate half of it... And some salty vets say there’s no money in driving anymore.

 

FAF’s own website promotes the following...

Top performing team contractors averaging $8,040/wk or $418,080 in revenue.

$371,900 minimum based on average miles (5,000/wk).

Top performing solo operators averaging $2,900 or $214,000 in revenue.

$198,000/yr. minimum based on average miles (2,800/wk).

A long way off of $255k, but seems decent if the miles are there, and consistent. 95% drop & hook - and mostly night driving would be a plus for some. Their jobs page is exclusively teams, but apparently they run solo too.

As long as the non-English speakers aren’t in dispatch or payroll, I don’t suppose that would pose a challenge.
