    Stop it. He’s not listening.

    But, I’m actually glad we ALMOST got to the truth without any name calling or the thread being shut down.

    That, in itself - is a win.

    Yes he's getting flack for l\p love but where he went wrong was from the git go in that the title of the thread sounds snotty and condescending. Like nonnienonnie boo boo..

    Kinda my thoughts, but I was willing to ignore the ego in search of the facts.

    I’ll have to research ‘nonnienonnie boo boo’ . . .

    Ahh the plot thickens.

    $1800-$2300 net

    Which is a far cry from the $4300 net he posted earlier.

    I m glad this is working for you.I really don’t care if you’re under the impression because it’s on the internet it has to be true fine.Bottom line is LP programs are by far the worst way to go about buying a truck,if you’re able to make it work, good but the point is you would do a lot better still if you bought a truck out right.

    Yes ALMOST indeed

    He's missing a trip from the info he posted earlier.

    Denver to Salt Lake

    Detention paid in Clackamas OR but no trip

    (Trip missing is Salt Lake to Clackamas and then a deadhead from Clackamas to Spokane)

    Spokane to Buffalo

    Buffalo to Manchester

    What's missing is Salt Lake to Clackamas detention paid but the load didn't pay. Which tells you that he's got more than a week on the weeks payroll he posted. Salt Lake to Clackamas is about 730 miles and he posted revenue for IIRC about 3450 miles without the 730 from the missing trip which would put the week at 4180 miles for a solo which doesn't mesh. Which brings up some questions about the one good week he posted as evidence that his all mile average for the year was $2.03. I could wait until I had one unusually spectacular week and then show up on TTR to brag about it too but that would probably piss Prime off and mislead others who might make business decisions based on that information.

    You can do well with Prime or JP but not as well as he's leading to believe. The $1800-$2300 he posted in the other thread is more in line with reality.
