    We’re talking a week? You can’t go by a week. You have to go by the month.
    20,000$.

    Well now all of you have seen the numbers.
    Now we need a benchmark everyone can live with.

    I will throw in this, those that see the bigger numbers as the one that should be used, does this take into consideration a guys first year? Or is the guy that has been in the game for 10 years the absolute?
    What about the guy that has turned 1 truck into 35 in 12 years? Is his week the number?
    Or the guy that's had his Grandfather's customers past down to him.
    Or the guy that's just doing his thing not kissing anyone's ###, even he only makes a buck?

    So we need a benchmark.
    A figure everyone can live with.

    After all business expenses and taxes - $1950 on an average 5.5 work week. That puts the o/o at about 100k net a year which then justifies the risk.

    Unacceptable. You're a company driver.
