    I think he means 8 k per mo. after fuel cost. Leaves enough to barely make a paycheck. Matter of fact, I could live off that. And I’ve got some bills to pay.

    Another 1000 to 1200 low end 1500 to 2000 high end thats around 10 k . So he is probably taking home 2000 instead of 4000 . Way to go

    $2k a month no benefits no vacation no retirement and all the liability. Sounds like a real road to success.
    Where do I sign up?

    He could save $50 or so per mo. by changing his own oil, and going up to 15k. instead of 10 k. Do that on the weekend. Cha Ching! Plus all the points from the Pilot. Be living like a king. Permanent vacation. Lol. I saw that motto on a Prime Truck, last week, it said “ Only in America, making 6 figures on a permanent vacation, Thank you Trump”. I should have got a pic of it. The Guy was really counting his chickens.
