Can an O/O stay local and still make money?

Cough cough bull manure cough.......

 

I love a good cat fight. I don't follow Bull racks, can't stand the smell. I watch & smile.

 

$1000 per week with your own tanker???? wtf??? holy cheap. i wouldnt pull a container for that. you need to work for someone who pays percentage first. then you will be better off. otherwise im afraid you will go out of business real fast. you got a lot to learn

 

so your saying AFTER expenses. you profit $4 a mile.

 

Ha, ha, if someone told me that I would ask them how they were doing it. I wouldn't call them a liar. Evidently, you are stuck in a box, a small box. You cannot see the possibilities in front of your face. If you think all you might possibly achieve is $1K per week, more power to you. If you are happy, I'm happy for you. But, I do 150% better than that on one load. Not every day, sometimes it is smaller loads and I do many of them.

 

Yeah you make 4k+ per week. Is that after fuel is the question?

 

When someone tells me that they are making $7,000 to $8,000 a week (after all expenses) driving a truck I don't bother asking how. Why? It's already a BS story and I don't waste my time with BS'ers.
Only way your making that kind of money driving a truck is carrying drugs or something else illegal. And if that's the case, your just stupid.
Sure we can all have a great week and make some very good money. But no one is making $7K to $8K a week in 70 hours of driving a truck. That's $100 to $114 per hour of actual driving. Get real and come on back down to earth.

 

You are making up things I never said. Why do you do that? Your reading comprehension skill are terrible or you are a liar and just want to drag someone down to your level. Which is it?

 

The original poster was talking about "$1,000.00 gross." I never claimed anything different. I, usually, fuel once per week. Running really hard, twice per week. At no time did I try to change the conversation to net pay. I'm not sure where any of you are getting that from. One poster claimed net pay, that poster was not me.

 

Whoa - there wizz bang! I never said - that you said anything. Duh. Where does it say in the Redbone quote above where I said that you said anything? Hows YOUR comprehension skills? Obviously very poor !
Of course that doesn't stop you from running your mouth or calling names.
As always, it's easy to try and act like a big shot bad ### while hiding behind a computer.
When a guy tells me that he is making "X" number of dollars we are talking "X" being net. If that includes fuel and all the other operating expenses; then he is not "making" that X.
Especially if we are talking fuel being thrown into that, which is the largest cost.
