    This is true. And. I doubt that I am one who does. What I was reffering to was a semi idea of amount. A lot pf people say money or revenue. Or even yearly figures. There is how ever a lot of talk on expensies, But rarely is the weekly broke down.
    So I was greatfull

    First, you do what ever you need to do to support you and your family. If you get a loan, the interest rate is extremely low. On this forum, you will get a LOT of good information. There are members here who will go out of their way to help. But there are many who, are company drivers and don't have a clue about business. It's not an insult to company drivers its just a fact. Do what ever you need to do to keep your business afloat and hang in there the best you can. Good luck!

    I totally understand. Wish I knew that info 10 yrs ago myself. Ask me anything thing anytime bro. I’m pretty much an open book for the most part.

    That $5000 thing is key btw. Of course people can do $4500, maybe even $4000. But, I didn’t start making any kind of real money until I was at $5000 or higher per week. When you factor in everything including depreciation / truck replacement and repairs. You better be getting money.

    Of course this is talking about 100% independent with own trailer. If you are in that category and taking less then $5000 per week, you are making it harder for the rest of us. I have big overhead costs. Seeing money come in, only to just go out is no interest to me.
