Company Driver to IC

So basically at 70-80k it’s better to keep the company truck

 

I think it's kinda what works for you. Keep in mind he's buying a truck at the same time and I don't believe you're gonna make 80K as company driver running the schedule he was running.

 

From my understanding, he's netting a bit more than we're grossing. And I don't think he runs too hard. The problem is the huge cost of purchasing the truck.

 

Yeah, I was just noting you can make a lot more money than a company driver while working less days. Just the cost of a truck is so high.

 

Thanks for thread, this answers a lot of questions for me as I prepare to retire from the Army and choose a second career. Can you invest in 401k through Superior? I doubt they'd match anything, but it could cut down on tax burden.

 

Sunday pay?
Are company drivers paid extra for driving on Sunday? If so, is that unique to Superior?

 

No,you do not get extra pay 4 driving on sunday!!!

 

Looking back to the beginning of this adventure and you had to do it all over again knowing the potential headache of a used truck with lots of shop time and costs . Would you do it the same way again? Or would you find a way to purchase a new truck by maybe hauling as company driver for another year or two before starting as an IC?

Just curious
