How much does “the truck” make?

Our numbers will be apples/oranges - I have a daily goal for time worked, and rate per mile to the truck before all deductions.

 

If your truck doesn’t make atleast as much as you make as its driver then something should be changed.

Pay yourself 65k/yr and make sure your truck makes itself 65k a year. I’d say most everyone would find that respectable.

 

Lately my Trucks been asking for a raise.

 

I would not give it to them. Next month they will just ask for another one.

 

My margin is $1200 a day gross that I have to make to put money in my pocket but that goes along with my bills....

 

I’m sure it just craving some attention, Hopefully not crying for help( yet )

 

I try not to go less than $2.00 a mile for anything, absolute lowest would be 1.80 (including DH and what not)

 

It should not be presumed that owner operators should be on the same level of making money. It would be like comparing earnings of doctors where in the same pool there are plastic surgeons, obstetricians and chiropractors.
