What I think is you could stand to work on your communication skills. Since you asked.
I believe your main question was if an O/O can gross 275,000 / year. The answer is of course, yes. It's only $5288/week. The trick is to do it running 2000 miles or less instead of 3000 miles or more, but yes it can be done.
I'm still trying to figure out what Canada or LTL have to do with it, and what the rest of your rant was about.
Flatbedder thinks he can make 275 k per year ?! Hmmmmmmm

My wife is one of 5 sisters ... when she's talking to me I can track her. But when she and her sisters get together, following the conversation is a lot like following this post.
RERM, 281ric, Swamprat55 and 4 others Thank this. -
Ok I'm back.....I had to go get a beer on this one!

Let me take a stab at this. The way I see it Timflatbed's husband is hauling heavy and/or oversize, grossing $15K+ up to Canada (less expenses for escort, etc.). Depending on total miles that is the only way it starts making sense on that score.
Regarding the original question: absolutely a flatbedder can gross $275K in a year. If that friend of a friend of a friend thinks it can be done without doing actual work or waiting for loads, then that's unreasonable.
My brother just leased on with a company servicing oil rigs out of OKC. First 8 loads in 8 days grossed $11K. Each load requires hard work and some of the destinations are challenging to get in and out of, what with mud, snow, etc. But yeah, I'd say he'll easily gross at least $275K for a full year's work.
Bottom line is work is involved and wait times are involved. -
but leased on to am can, it would require possibly no days oof and on the road 12 months, no breakdown, seamless loading and unloading, no layovers etc,.
no with highly specialized regular occurring freight, would make it a tad easier,
but I am like you , how dang many miles might it take -

don't you hate it when your buddy 3x gets the actual income all messed up ? -
I most be a big dummy, cause this post is flying way over my head. I did not know there was such a thing as over sized LTL freight, and at $4800.0 a month, I hope that truck has brass polls and strippers sliding down them.
