I’ve seen some Mr Haney posts. I just did a platinum with warranty in March and don’t want to lose warranty coverage so I’m a little hesitant. at this point I’m making the same or a bit more than I was as a company driver. My numbers are skewed by the fact that I’ve owned the truck for almost a full year and dumped 50k into it besides purchase price. Hindsight is 20/20. I suspect I’m in a good position where I’m at but always looking for feedback and input from more experienced owner ops.
What’s my best option for earning potential?

How much are you paying for health insurance? What are you expected to make (take home this year)
I would get out of northeast run the midwest and south as much as possible. Less traffic and flat land. -
I paid $42.5K for Casper two years ago with a TK APU, 220K miles ago. Got about $20K in him in maintenance and repairs.

So 1.00-1.25 net, only cost is plates and Ins on the Truck. Not bad these days. Beats the spot market ( Midwest) right now, not sure about NE rates. Regardless, Be wary of others Revenue tales. Leased can be explained half a dozen different ways.A lot don’t really know what they’re actually making. Sounds like you do. Fuel mileage should jump up around 70 k? Or so, and after the first overhead, b-4 100 k? Or whatever’s suggested.I just set up this week, 3 trips totaling 3200 miles. Bottom line after fuel, unfortunately is a little less than yours. Add trailer and liability costs. You’re way ahead.
TomGodin, dwells40 and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.
