Company driver -How much you make this week?

Well I thought it was a given, everyone knows trucks cost no money to operate as a company lease driver, or on a 1099 you're telling me the driver is responsible for all his taxes? Shocker

 

I’m not talking about a 1099 im talking about a company driver not a lease operator

 

All of the negative posts are probably a van driver that has never tried anything else

 

Well I'M just a van driver, only working 224 days a year, 5 weeks vacation, never out more than 5 days .

After all taxes, 12%into 401k, health insurance, I only banked $61,368 deposited into my bank account last year so..........

 

And that’s a good average wage, but I’m just saying don’t be so negative when someone else specializes in something else and maybe makes 3 or 4 times what you make. It’s out there if you want to make the most of it. I’m not the op but I do believe that you can make well into the 150k-200k if you find the right place

 

For some reason I'm picturing a 100mph Volvo out of Orland Park,IL pulling a conestoga trailer.

How did you drive 4800 miles with all of those stops anyway? I'm not saying it's impossible out west with a fast truck and two nice long loads , but you had all of those stops and short runs yet you still averaged over 685 miles per day

 

That was after taxes bro, reading and comprehension is important .3 times that would be Grossing 350k+

 

***Public service announcement****

For those who can't comprehend the difference between GROSS & NET

Gross = all monies paid to the truck

Net = what you as a driver actually get to put into your bank account after all expenses, example fuel, insurance, maintenance, tires, oil changes, lease/truck payment, taxes, yes all you 1099 guys will have to pay these and any other expenses related to the truck.

 

4816 / 70 comes to 68.8 mph . No fueling ,loading , unloading or pre/post trips . Enjoy ...
