$5k to $10k a week? Anyone making this much?

It depends what trailer, type of operation, etc. It’s possible to have a week like this once in a blue moon. You won’t be consistently making $14k every week, no matter what trailer and what company promises. Your range from the topic title is what you could be seeing consistently before any expenses are being deducted or carriers cut. Only if you dedicate all of your time though, drive off your logbook hours every time and spend weekends on truck stops instead of home.

 

My husband and I are fairly new independent operators. We have been running power only loads for the last 5 weeks and we’ve made 10,000 each week. That’s our goal when we set out and it usually takes 4 -5 days we’ve kept in under 4,000 miles and made 10,000.

 

Thats seems pretty dang good for power only.
Are you in the Permian ?

 

I do about $1700 / day running water in the oilfield.


If I time it right I can pound out $2500 / day

 

No. Actually we in the Midwest. Indiana. Doing awesome right now with power only. Mainly pulling convoy loads.

 

Are you working with a 1099?

 

I didn’t know there was any other way as an O/O …

 

Gross ?
Net?

bwfore fuel ?
After fuel , payments and insurance and maintenance?

 

you should be at 3k miles and 10k. That’s where we are at as a group of friends. You’ll get there as their is room. Good luck and truck on.
