Is this good enough deal

Chicago, imagine that

 

They should nickname this business swimming with sharks...

 

Every one knows all Truckers are rich!!!

 

Come on. If you have been in trucking you know the goal is 750 to 1000.00 a day to the truck. 9000 dollars weeks are out there. But 25 grand a week never not even with a team. I average 22 to 26 grand a month to the truck working 20 to 24 days a month Reefer.

Be Safe Out There

I’ve recently met my goal. Worked hard and stayed dedicated. Problem is goal was set 23 yrs ago!!! I thing inflation caught up with me.

 

Im going to be real with you, $9k-$15k a week is possible, but you better have some top dollar accounts beforehand.

As for me, becoming a full blown owner operator with my own authority 3 months ago, I did a little over $40,000 in revenue my 1st month, just me solo, with a truck using load out dry van trailers and doing power only. Was it easy? F-no. Is it possible? More than possible. I know some guys clearing $60,000 a month solo (specialized freight haulers).

Do I think most owner operators do that kind of revenue a month? F-no!

On average, you can expect $5000-$8000 a week, depending.

That said, my first week out, I did$12,000 in the first 7 days. Almost 4000 miles deadhead and all, legally. $2000 in fuel. $10,000 in my pocket.

With all that said, if you don't have your own authority, and are leasing on to some blood-sucking company, then disregard everything I said.

 

U R THE MAN !!!

 

That’s must of been some good s*^# you was/is on to do that many miles just in deadhead.... correction; “ all miles”.... I think that’s what your saying......

 

Keep that pace you’ll make at least half a mil first year .
