Can owner operators make 4k per week after all expenses and taxes?

Everyone is different but here is a rough breakdown of a single owner operator authority on a yearly basis. I’m sure these fluctuate wildly but these numbers are pretty solid on 110k miles a year.

$50,000 truck/trailer and maintenance
$75,000 fuel
$20,000 permits plates insurance ifta
So about total $145k a year expenses

110k miles at $2/mile profit be $75k
110k miles at $3/mile profit be $185k

At 52 weeks a year at $3 a mile all year you’re looking at $3,550 profit

This doesn’t consider new trucks or old ones or taxes and depreciation and all that fun stuff but it’s a decent guideline.

 

I manage about that car hauling. But it's hustling to get it done

 

Pretty close.

 

Why are you thinking its 2 trucks? Doesnt seem outside of plausibility its 1 hrmm, just saw lower thing

But why is that a bad idea? 1 guy, 2 trucks? I know thats what i want to get to. Always seems downtime if 1 truck is down is what kills me

 

2 trucks, me as driver,
One breaks down, i swap til i fix or shop if needed.

 

Well its from the begining of the year when things tarted to drop and fuel was already on the rise... youre making assumptions that MAY be true, but not neccessarily
