Then you'll appreciate the necessity of minimizing your costs by first, learning how to operate your truck efficiently, second getting enough experience with the HOS regs to understand how to use them to your advantage, and third not choosing a routing to the east coast that will cost you hundreds of dollars in unnecessary tolls.
I don't know you from Adam... so why would I want to spend my capital in credibility with the FMs I know vouching for a newb with zero track record? Chances are you'll screw-up, and my stock goes down. Either work your way into this properly, or plan on an education the hard way.

Look, of course reality is different, but my numbers were estimated low on the earnings side , high on the costs side, and bottom mid of the fuel economy. And you know what? It still showed a profit. I expect.ill operate at a loss some weeks, but overall, profitable. This.is a game of long term prospects, not a paycheck chase.

Who have you driven for in the past?

Otr, no one. Who have I drove for? Calfrac well services, in some places that would make you want to cry. 129k gross down an ice covered mountain lease road, 214k and 9 axeles up a road so tight you couldnt figure out the hell I made it. Drove straight truck for a year. Starting when I was 16, my step dad put me behind the wheel when I ran with him. He was a o/op with landstar for 15 odd years, among other companies in his 40 some year career. How long have I been around the otr business? Since I was a kid. Grandpa, uncles, cousins stepdad, all independents.
