The journey begins - purchased a truck.

You learn good grasshopper, one day you’ll catch me.

 

Hey @blairandgretchen , I do not see pilot and escort cars in the accounting, and figured they would be a significant expense?

Where those deducted before the Reported revenue (LS reimbursed expense)?

Out of curiosity what is the normal accounting for paying for those guys? Who gets the bill carrier, truck, truck owner, agent/broker?

 

It just feels high. Physical damage on my truck is 91 and the trailer is 39. 25 for bobtail. That's with 1k deductible on each.

 

Blair, looks good.
Just as an aside, being a door slammer at Schneider netted nearly the same.
I only say this for folks that are considering which way to go. Yes, the rates for ya'll are much better, but the expenses are much higher. My net was $118,605, (gross $168,000).......less probably $5-8k for local stuff (tires, accountants, whatnot).
Happy New Year......and didn't mean to hijack you.

 

Ya but how many days did it take to hit that number? I'd almost bet my left arm Blair spent more time away from the truck.

 

very well could be Spyder. But I know this much, I didn't run any more than I wanted to.

And you're missing the overall point. But, that's to be expected.

 

Is that loaded miles or all miles?

 

The normal dollar or 2 comcheck fee per transaction, or something more significant?

Don't want to pry too hard, But I was blind to that aspect of the business as a van.
