What about food, clothes, ect? Takes a cheapskate about 150.00 a week to be on the road. Need to keep that in the numbers.

 

I am just wondering about taxes social security workers comp
you know all them quarterly Govt bills you gotta pay too

 

Funny, my posts keep getting flagged, feels like Park it, & bring the permits with you. If I am not allowed to speak the real world about trucking I don't need to be here. We are not girl scouts, this is a low paying job, hard hours, dangerous thing to do. I love it so. Takes super skills, emminse knowledge, & timing. If I am supposed to tell people it's like going to get Do Nut's for the family, I don't belong here. It's the most rewarding life I would have, I would not change a thing. I have seen all of America, most of Canada, & met about every kind of people their is to meet. These folks are kind enough to let be share my expert travels. I don't lie, or sugar coat anything. I'm just an old Trucker.

 

Business expenses are business expenses and personal expenses are personal expenses. Why on earth would any real business person build personal expenses into a business overhead? Not saying ignore your personal expenses but they should not come into a conversation about what it costs to run a truck. These are in the conversation about if you business makes enough to support you life.

 

Bill, agreed. I met a guy who calculated his mortgage and wifes car payment in his pro forma, i can see ehy he did it but I never really thought you were supposed to do that. Keep business business, personal personal, pay yourself right?

 

When I factoring in personal expenses, it's based on how much profit I want. Just as I calculate my taxes after I figured my profit.

Revenue minus expenses equals Profit
Profit minus taxes, insurance, etc equals Take Home Pay
Take Home Pay minus personal expenses equals Fun Money

 

Fun money plus wife equals no money

 

June was a little less than I had hoped for. $21,114.28 on 9939 miles. I don't know if claims of net are all that meaningful since apparently everyone calculates that differently.
