I have a paid off truck and am only bringing home $1500 on a good week

Does the company know the truck is paid off? Somebody with big payments may be getting all the loads. Stay away from Facebook and quietly look for something else.

 

“I have a paid off truck and am only bringing home $1500 on a good week”

what does that even mean?

you have a truck?

ok

How are you running the truck?

what system are you using to run the truck?

are you leased or an independent o/o?

is that $1500 a week gross or net?

 

Are you setting narrow parameters on the loads that you will haul? Search area, Weight, location, commodity? Are you learning shipping trends? Hauling in a triangle vs. out and back?

 

Local company jobs are paying that or better.

 

my trucks a 1997 and I have zero problems still putting 100k behind her

I don’t know how their load board is set up but I would think you could figure it out even without it..

 

yeah, mines a 2010 model and it’s pulled heavy every load, most was 117k gross.

 

Age of truck shouldn’t have anything to do with how much it will drag. Mine is a 1989 and it will pull anything you can put on the wagon. I might not get there as fast as someone with 750 HP, but rest assured, I will get there
