    Yeah probably before ALL his expenses. His take home pay will be a fraction of that. I gave up talking to some of these clown OO about their pay. "I make 475k!", "i didnt ask what your truck makes what do YOU take home and make?" "Oh uh 60k"

    So can you tell me what's the point of being an owner operator of you gross that much but only take home what a company driver does or actually less cause there company drivers making 60-100k a year.
