Grossing $5k Per Week

We need a quick link to @TripleSix hoo-wah story.

 

If ge is grossing 6-7k. I don't understand how he could be nettiing 2grand or less? Even with a lease rip me off truck. Off the top of my head $1000 for truck $1500 for fuel $500 in your getting ducked charges. $500 for ecsrows, food, lot lizzards. Still leaves $2500 minimum. I think this guy pulled numbers out his ###. Or yold the truth on what he netted. But wanted to sound like a big shot, on what he grossed. Without thinking duh a second grader can do simple math in their head. Those numbers don't add up.

 

It's either fewer miles at higher rates, or more miles at lower rates. The 70 hour clock dictates how many miles you can fit, and where you are working and what you are pulling dictates what rates you will be seeing. freight type is irrelevant, almost. Bulk pays more than reefer pays more than flatbed pays more than van, EN JENERAL. but there are obscene dry van rates, and there is flatbed loads that will buy you a motorcycle, and there are bulk rates that will make a company swift driver feel pretty good about himself. But if you put yourself in a position to pull freight that someone else is graciously providing for you, you can't really complain about them taking half of your sandwich. get experience, get your own equipment, get skin in the game, and then it will be like any other business...find somebody who wants something moved. They pay out the ### to move stuff when it's high priority. Everybody does.

 

Dry van you have to bump docks at weird angles in impossible places, goombas on forklifts take hours to load you, loads shift on you because goombas loaded you. Flatbed you run over bumps and your straps come loose and your load of 2x4s and bricks go through soccer moms windshield. You have to wrestle huge tarps in all weather and stop and fix it every time it comes loose. Reefer drivers are vampires, and grocery warehouses are where you go to find good friends. Tanker you drop one set of tandem wheels into that hole that every other driver goes through, except your 45k lbs is liquid, and it rolls to the back and sideways, and now you get to lay down for a while. Oh and it is flammable liquid that got punctured by that fire hydrant, now you are on fire.

 

I dead headed from Vero beach Florida, to Iron Mountain, Michigan because I would not run my own truck and borrowed trailer for $1 per mile. Than my lease contract was terminated.

 

Why not get a load from any states in between?

 

So what do car haulers do..lol

 

Pretend that they're 12 and that they have a bunch of cars. 'Hey everybody, look at all my cars!'

 

We car haulers work 8 hours a day 4 days a week. We spend the rest of the week counting our money!

 

Car haulins sunk and bull haulins in the dump. To think about either makes me want to get drunk.
