blairandgretchen Thanks this.

I thought those were solo numbers.
You run team with JCT for those numbers, right?
Carry on folks. -
You are right about that as no Aggie and Longhorns fan have agreed about anything except the state we love.
-
Knowing your costs. It’s a good thing.
After this hilarious back and forth ( it was all for comedic value folks, no puppies were harmed in the production of this thread), we can all agree that -
Mastery of a Casio is key to a long happy trucking life.

9mm looks back and says ‘ Not this time. Not for this one. ‘.** -
Yes, Wifey and I do all things together except watching college football.
Sorry if I didn't make the team thing clear, and yes, we are an owner operator team running with JCT. Not at all a bad company though I'm not recommending a L/P to anyone. Although teams do quite well here. Solos really have to run a really efficient operation to net good money.
Let me emphasize that we haven't been L/P operators for some time. We did indeed L/P our truck thru them and actually netted decent money doing that. Once we owned truck, the #'s just went up and up.
Sorry if you don't think much about the way we aquired our truck, but those are indeed are #'s.dwells40 Thanks this. -
No idea about football.
Congratulations on your college education.
Here is my issue.
Telling folks their heads may explode if you posted settlements, whilst not wanting to appear pompous.
Then posting a number (which I honestly thought was solo figures), . . .
You netted $4966 to the house after all expenses.
My wife and I left a team company job 5 years ago that paid
$4270 a week, gross before taxes, as COMPANY drivers. 5 days out, 2 off.
She’s retired now. But - if we were still teaming, at my YTD figures, I’d expect to be bringing $15,000 to the truck and $9,000 net before tax to the house.
I’ve got a real small rooster. But when I see people crowing , I’m going to look, stare, and point.
Good day, sir. -
Jesus, this thread is sad. No wonder it’s so tough for long term operations to stay afloat while people come in and play trucker for a couple years.
Eldiablo, stayinback, SL3406 and 2 others Thank this.
