is it worth it?

Driving someone else's tractor on a yard. Basically shuttling trailers in and out of dock doors staging them in drop areas. $800 a day 10 hour work days Monday thru Friday? I get a percentage of the $800. I'd have to drive my personal vehicle some 200 miles to the facility, then commute from my hotel room daily to the terminal. Probably have about $500-600 in expenses on the week for the room + meals. Zero miles on my equipment this seems ok. Almost seems like a no brainer? This during busy season where rates are good for me though. Could potentially gross $20-$25K with my own truck in a month, not by any means a given though.. ..what would you guys do?

 

I'm at 89% my pickup that I commute in burns diesel gets 22mpg highway. I'm sure $600 will cover my commute fuel, hotel, and meals.

 

Yes, their tractor not mine.

 

Good question I didn't think of. Don't know all the details yet. This is going to be hard work and hustle sure enough but 10 hours a day max for sure.

 

I am the owner of my truck leased to a company. It stays in the driveway while I contract to do this job. The work is several weeks. But I am always skeptical of too good to be true. It seems pretty good tradeoff though. No wear on.my equipment.
