That’s hella good IMO. It’s always good to see someone that does well in that corridor. All I ever hear are negatives. But, those people are generally from the Midwest or East, trying to go back.
Nobody considers the short game it seems.

Okay, I figured since my work year is officially over, I'd polish up my initial numbers.
I just ran an annual report from my logging software. I'm done for the rest of the year, so the numbers are accurate. Dry van operation in the PNW I-5 corridor only, all spot freight.
I'm right at 200k revenue for the year. Out of the logged 69,543 annual miles, at least 4,000 of those are pc miles too. Many of those 213 "worked days" were also days when I was back home in my own bed for the night.
One of things I determined when I got into this as an owner operator was I was not going to be like a migrant worker who follows the harvest. Home time is a high priority for me. Being an owner operator has it's responsibilities, however, there should be a reasonable amount of privilege that goes with it, in my opinion, of course.
It can be done...
I cropped out my name on the report so as not to incriminate myself LOL.

Good for you! Cost of living is an important factor, for sure. I bought and remodeled a home 15 years ago here in S. Oregon when I was still in the contracting business. It is a beautiful home on 2 acres in a very nice location. I have no interest in living anywhere else. Been there, done that. Our house payment (PITI) is $1,100 a month. We own our cars out right and no other debt.
We are surrounded by our children & grandkids. So, I'm not going ANYWHERE!
