Some numbers for new O/O

$170/$120 and I like what I do and who I do it for. I'm the luckiest truck driver on the planet.

 

where do you get -Insurance for the first year at $12-16k? I was quoted from 22-39k per year.

 

I got mine for 1800 down 1247 month 1st year from ooida includes 2 mill gen liability and 10k towing reimbursement

 

Thanks mate. You are the second person to mention OOIDA. Do you also have experienced issues with the insurance acceptance? I was told Landstar doesn't accept this insurance.

 

Theres a list i wanna say 12 brokers total that wont accept their insuranc . Only big one is landstar. And they won't take it cause ooida sued them for screwing over their o/o's a long time ago

 

Good info....Thanks Mate.

 

Well I've got my general numbers from last year. I was down almost $35,000 from 2018, but my net was only down about $8,000. (I ran less miles, less fuel and maintenance) How was everyone's year?

 

Little bit more money on both ends.....around $5k. Ran about the same. I don't keep really close track of how much I run. But I didn't kill myself either. I'm usually home every week and take 2-4 weeks off every year.

 

it was misunderstanding. I can't gross 5K in 5 days with a dry van, and be back home for Sunday mass.
