<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MaineRoad96, post: 12106037, member: 331200&quot;]Just ran some numbers. I&#039;m at $45,166 gross for the year. Will probably finish in between 60k-65k gross for the year. If I ran the rest of the year without taking anymore hometime (which won&#039;t happen) I could maybe get in the low 70k&#039;s gross.</p><p><br /></p><p>I realize every trucker on the internet is making six figures per year working only 3 days per week, but for me personally I&#039;m pretty happy with finishing at around 60k gross for the year. I make sure to take ample hometime, one of the reasons I came onto this company. I probably average 7 days off per month. Sometimes I&#039;ll stay out 6 weeks but then I&#039;ll take me a week and a half off, so it all kind of evens itself out. I also had that long 3 week vacation to Europe at the end of July/early August as well. I&#039;m pretty happy with the work life balance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Though one thing that I&#039;m keeping in mind, I also had a $3,000 sign on bonus that is/will be paid to me all in the 2022 tax year. So whatever my final number for the year is, I&#039;ll have to subtract 3k from that number going into 2023 if I want to estimate what my gross income for next year will be (if I still take the same amount of hometime that I take now).</p><p><br /></p><p>Although I&#039;ll be getting my 1 cent yearly raise as well in October, so if I run 100k miles in 2023 then that&#039;s an extra $1,000 gross annually. Which would cut that loss of 3k income from the 2022 sign on bonus down one third, to 2k loss of income instead of 3k loss of income.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think if I ran harder and took less hometime, I probably could&#039;ve grossed 80k this year. So while obviously I&#039;de like to gross more than 60k-65k per year, I can&#039;t really fault Magnum for it because the money was there on the table for me, I just chose not to take it because of hometime and that big summer vacation I had.</p><p><br /></p><p>We&#039;ll see where I&#039;m at for my 2022 annual gross in several months and see how the start of winter plays out. As of now expecting to finish around $60,000 - $65,000 for the 2022 year. </p><p><br /></p><p>Overall I&#039;m pretty happy, don&#039;t really have any complaints here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
