Money - Looking to earn $5k and up per wk as O/O

Also, his numbers quote miles per day, per month and paid miles per month... When doing your math, use as close to exact as you can. You are not going to drive 600miles per day for 5 days, EVERY WEEK... How many days will you take off in a year? You can estimate the miles per week, if that is how your going to get paid, and than multiply that number by 52 weeks minus the weeks you will take off, and than devide by the remaining months. Example; 600miles per day, 5 days a week = 3000 miles per week x 44 weeks (taking 8 weeks off this year) = 13,200 miles per month for the actuall months (10) you will work. Now take the 13,200 miles, multiply that by $2 per mile = $26,400 gross pay per month or $264,000 for 10 months which = $6000.00 a week (44 wks) gross.. Now start taking out all your fixed and variable costs, and taxes..... I about guarentee you won't be taking 8 weeks off...LOL Not the first year anyaway. The fixed costs you can adjust somewhat but not much. The variable costs is what you can change by cutting. Like fuel (mpg), your paperwork (you doing it or paying someone else to do it for you), and the list goes on and on. NO, I AM NOT AN O/O, I HAVE JUST DONE SOME RESEARCH IN THAT AREA BECAUSE IT IS MY GOAL AND OBVIOUSLY YOURS AS WELL. KEEP READING BROTHER AND I WILL AS WELL. TALK TO DRIVERS IN PERSON AS WELL. GOOD LUCK.. AND GOD BLESS.

All you O/O's out there that will read this, don't hurt me too much...LOL I know I missed some stuff and may have messed up somewhere.. I take constuctive critisism well..... I feel I have really put myself out there.

 

Since I never contradicted myself, yeah, I do.

 

I'm a company driver and I asked my shop and they gave me a spare. Do I HAVE to do that? No. It doesn't come outta my pocket. However, it DOES save my company money and therefore improves their bottom line. This in turn ensures we keep getting the great pay and benefits we get.

Why aren't you able to do the same?

 

I was going to leave this alone but I guess I'm petty. When person states that it cost them money, I would assume that it's their truck. Wasn't this that T/A tire or was a different one. Another contradiction coming my way I guess.lol

 

Now children...

Absolutely

 

Ok, just realized I posted obove info on wrong thread...LOL Man, I am reading too many threads tonight...

 

I knew it was a little childish, my apologies. Consider it ridden.

 

No shop. Not everyone has one.

First company was based in Co and I never went there. So even if they had a shop, I'd never see it. Also no place to put a spare on the truck. So they had a national account to pay the same price nationwide as they did at home.

Second guy was an O/O that had been in the business for 7 years and didn't have the sense to carry one. Also didn't have a dime to his name and still owes me three weeks pay.

Keep trying.

 

Keep trying what? All I did was ask a question.
