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

And not all weeks will be money, got the good and the bad, like a $1500 part.
You ran that week for that part, you/company, it’s all the same in the end.
it’s not just fun and games, say a turbo goes.
$4000+$1000 actuator.
Gotta go to shop so they can match it with computer. say $6500 right there easy.

 

I don’t see mileage put in there from 17-24…
but here it is

 

I once talked to the CEO of a major flatbed company, who told me after all his expenses, his trucks generated a profit of .03/mile.

If he can do it I can too!!
Granted he has probably 1000+ trucks at 100k mile/year, each still 3 million/ year profit.

Gotta look at the big picture not the little one.

 

Detail math is gonna be hard to show since too many variables in the operation. I run a brand new truck with 5 year warranty so I have a lot less out of pocket for maintenance cost. I also run 50K to 60k for oil changes. My miles per gallon will be better as well then pulling a specialized trailer. Lots of ways to do it and it depends on location and how you plan on running.

Spot market can run from $1 a mile to $20 a mile. Dollar per mile does not do anything for me as I want to make a certain amount per month and that is all that matters to me. I know what I need to make on a run to be profitable if it gets down to that point.
