    I have a thread on driver first aid though for smashed and infected fingers and such if you know how to use the search feature.

    There are good companies to lease on too. The company I’m with pays $1.30 loaded and $1.00 empty. Might not seem like a lot but my fixed cost run $967.60 & variable(fuel) between $900-$1300 a week. They also pay $144 every time loaded or unloaded as well as $80 if before 8am or after 5pm. An I have had steady 2900-3400 miles every week for last 7 months. Lots of long hauls as well. Oh and best of all 95% of loads under 10,000lbs
     
    Upinsmoke, dillpickle and dwells40 Thank this.

    I wouldn't start my truck for 1.30 a mile. I didn't buy a truck just to make less than I could driving for a company.

    Might not be the ideal! But with steady runs and with rates where they are right now. Taking home pre tax $3,000 a week is ok with me for dry-van.
     
    Upinsmoke Thanks this.

    My truck payment is $1,700 a month, so breaks down to $425 a week. Use their trailers no cost. An insurance and omnitracs, etc. run my fixed cost to around $960 a week. Oh an for those who think i don’t know business! I have a business finance degree. I choose to drive a truck because the freedom and money. I love it.
