    $5,000 a week gross is not "the big bucks".

    If that truck's not grossing at LEAST $1,000 A DAY for every day that it's rolling....It's not earning its keep.
    I try to keep the number closer to $1,300 per day!

    I think we just secured membership in the thread hijackers membership. Sorry O/P, good luck finding that 5k/wk gig.

    The original question was "gross or net". I normally gross 5k and up per week through most of the year except mid December to the end of Feb. I have never "netted" 5k per week. I don't know what one could possibly haul to net 5k per week "on a regular basis". I would assume the OP was referring to gross. If he believes he's gonna net 5k somewhere he needs to have these letters after his name: MD, DDS, Phd, Esq.

    You don't need any formal education to make money if you can build a business. This thread was questioning gross or net on that 5k figure. Now that has been answered, gross, which should be doable depending on what you pull and who you pull it for.
     
    SheepDog Thanks this.

    Trust me there are companies out there where a o/o can net $5000 a week. All it takes is a stellar reputation for hard work and some luck with being at the right place at the right time. I personally know of 3 companies where the o/o net over that amount and only work about 39 weeks a year. Posting the names of the companies on a internet forum is not a option since they only hire by word of mouth (if you have a great reputation) and referral from one of their existing o/o. Best advice I can give any o/o looking to make big money...keep your eyes and ears open, mouth shut, head down, work harder and smarter than everyone else and don't be afraid to take a risk cause your dedication will pay off.
