Is $2,500 a week avg too high as O/O

At 2500.00 a week that would be 10k a month net. That is highly unrealistic. Trucking does not pay six figures annually. At least not in general freight.

 

In order to net $2500.00 per week, you would have to gross around $5300.00 per week. While you can obtain $2500.00 per week, I would not want to see your log book nor would the DOT.... (speaking as owner op leased to a company)

 

Assumuing you are leased to them, $2500.00 should NEVER be a problem to reach. I can do that everyweek no sweat

 

Sure it does... before expenses!

My best "net" where I am leased to for the moment was $2200 for a week. This was after fuel. This was running legal, but running about 6 days if I remember correctly. Of course, this doesn't take taxes into account.

I have some friends that run illegal as heck grossing over 5k a week.

 

2500 is very realistic. I made that last week working 3 nights. I think I put in a total of 32 hours. But then again I am a Teamster. Even so come to think of it I know some guys pulling sea cans locally that bring in that much. I think they put in a lot more hours though.

 

Sharing the LOVE, OK... I am new to the forums but new to trucking.
our trucks are leases to BESL Tranfer. And we run RGN freight all the time, along with DROP's STEP's and Flat decks.

Unlike the (VAN) freight we do see $2,500 Days. But also sometimes SIT.

Cant move permitted loads in RAIN,SNOW,ICE,FOG ect.... Depending the permited load.

Their has been a week or 2 this past YEAR where 1 truck Net after TAXs, Driver and All COSTs Cleared: $7,000.00 ..

So, depending the freight $2500 PER week (NET) not Gross is very possible.

All the best,
