Any owner operators leased to TMC?

Get it right......He claimed to be making $150k NET a year, but that was only after a few week of working for them, so.......
If you are willing to take that pay cut, and learn from the best of the best biggrin_25525, then go for it!

At $2/mi your talking driving 150,000 miles a year to net $300,k I don't know any O/O that drive that many miles....and anyone that knows me knows I don't work much...LOL!! I don't drive but 60-70,000 miles a year most years under 60,000

 

$2 a mile, 150k miles, would be a GROSS of $300k, not net. "He" claimed to have a "NET" of $150k......Yeah, I know.

Don;t listen to left lane. he knows nothing about TMC and doesnt work as an O/O for them. He knew I am an O/O for TMC and knew i would post here. For some reason he is in the middle of a pissing contest with me. Politics between me and left lane aside.....

the one guy that makes over 300k a year is lieing. TMC is not a bad gig, but not 300K, even gross. I average 2.21 a mile GROSS since January. I'm averaging 2000 miles a week. I;ll prob work 50 weeks this year, thus 2.21*100000= 221,000 gross. Now if you run your truck half way decent you can run it for under a buck a mile. My average since January is .87/mile. This includes, fuel, tax insurance, maintenance etc. That leave me a profit of 1.34/mile or about 134,000 dollars for the year. This number is getting better as I'm paying more attention to what states/ locations I buy fuel. My truck has also been repaired and mpg has gone up. Since i just fixed a whole bunch of stuff, my average maintenance cost should go down as i run more miles. So, with a bad truck and not buying fuel in the right place im on track to NET 134,000. By improving my fuel purchasing and my mpg my numbers are getting better each month. SO, 300K...um probably an exaggeration. 200+ gross is believable. 100+ net should be attainable.

The numbers i have posted here are based on my actual accounting averages since January. This is pay for all odometer miles, (oor, dead head and loaded)

Now, TMC likes there O/O. They treat um well and keep us moving. If you have any specific questions about TMC, i'd be happy to answer them for you. All in all, I'm quite happy with the amount i make, the load selection, and how much they stay out of my way and let me drive.

 

If "he" is me....I claimed to have a projected NET of 150. I never suggested i had been working there long enough to actually have an 100% accurate projection. My actual numbers are a little lower on net do to a huge maintenance bill, but my projections aren't far off.

 

Cracking up over here......Some can't see right in front of them!
P'ing match? Not on my end.
134, 150, whatever. It's still either a dream or bad accounting. Dont bother, we all know you "run" your business better than the rest of us, although I would like to see some of this negotiation take place, where rates are concerned.
Go on, you know you want to....that button is around somewhere...

 

I never claimed i would make 150k. I claimed, based on the little time i had worked for tmc as an o/o I was on track for 150. Now that i have a bigger sampling, im on track for 134,000. That's a more accurate number as my sampling is longer. I also just spend 12k on maintenance which skews the number quite a bit. I'm giving you a snapshot based on my accounting since January. I cant tell you what i will make in the future 100%. I can project based on the data i have for the time i have worked at TMC. My truck is costing way above average in maintenance cost. Does that mean Im not still a successful business owner? It just means my maintenance expenses in jan/feb were low.


Gross, you should expect over 2 bucks a mile and 100k miles per year...thus at least $200,000

 

We all tried telling you that genius, but you claimed to know how to look after a truck better than the rest of us etc.
I can go in and find the drivel if you want, but it is what you claimed.
Either way, keep it up!

 

when did i claim i could look after a truck better? I learned a lot about truck maintenance and repair in the last year of ownership. The broken items are starters, alternators, brake drums, a/c, motor mounts, etc. This proves a year ago i did not know hoe to properly inspect a truck and missed some problems.

Things like the ops eco pure, supper singles, and other maintenance saving tech i use has nothing to do with the maintenance problems i've been having.
