    $800 a week X 52 weeks = $41,600 a year.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    Yeah, and decent companies will get you at least 50% more.

    I think he means he just wants at least $800 as personal take home, and the rest is saved for operating expenses, and savings for when he buys his own truck. At least that's what I'd do.

    Got first settlement.
    No fixed costs were taken out, just variables.
    Loaded miles 1582
    Empty 210
    Net settlement- $1982.25
    1 load. Picked up Friday after orientation and delivered Monday. Completely out of hours and none Tuesday. So reset and picked up load Wednesday for Monday delivery. Too many stupid short loads coming out of Florida to get another that week.

    On 3rd load this week delivery this morning. Will do numbers later, but looking at $3500 to me I think. Picking up load later for Monday to MA:( pays very well, but.....

    Having fun with these folks so far. I’m doing less work and have less stress than my other job. And making more than double what I was. So far this is working great. The truck is doing great so far, that’s the key obviously.
    Week 2 settlement was $3400. .79cpm though to me. Starting that week the previous WED gave me 1800 miles by Monday. Did 4 loads total. Too many miles, not very efficient but I took adavantage of it to stack some cash.
    This last week will be about 1800. But I think close to .90cpm profit. 2 loads. I’m slowly getting a handle on these things and working on being more efficient with my miles. First 3 weeks were with a flatbed only. I just got a step deck starting my 4th week.

    Up to 7.3 mpg all last week. My truck likes 61mph. Sucks sometimes, but I haven’t been pushed for time yet. Might as well chill and bank a few more bucks.
    On my first OD load starting week 4 off mon del. love the printer and scanner in truck. Permits were ready before I left. Very convenient

    Can’t say anything bad about company. Some loads are cheap, but patience pays off.

    I appreciate the update, I'm moving companies in five months (I'm a company driver with a one-year contract) and ATS is one of my top choices.

    Yes the 2 flags will be put back on when I move. Don’t trust many people and they are hard to find and expensive
