    As much as he wants to make. He owns the truck & screw what anyone else says about him, they ain’t making his payments!

    Don't think you can have a hard number.
    Everyone's expenses are different.
    % of gross freight might give a closer number.

    I don't believe the amount of money you make, makes you an owner operator but the actions you make and the responsibilities you have.
