    Well the numbers are starting to look like. I am gonna make a little over a thousand dollar profit even though I had the breakdown, hotel fees , and all that bs. I was able to pay off one of my credit cards today also. That's almost 5k in credit debt paid off.

    Congratulations!!!

    I can tell you that you ain't never gonna get rich there, but if you work hard, you will make a living and you can take comfort knowing that you are working for one of the most straight up honest companies in the industry that will keep you running when a lot of other people are sitting and they are willing to extend some help if you need it.
     
    JoeyJunk and Crazytrucker77 Thank this.

    I figured that out awhile ago myself but I like it here. I'm planning on buying a truck in the next year then I might make a move somewhere else. Would really like to self dispatch.

    Ok so all the costs from the breakdown are in.

    Repair - diagnostic labor, trans. seal + labor, hood strut + labor, driveline strap kit +labor, and DOT inspection = $960.82
    Hotel for seven days = $809.17
    Rental Car seven days = $518.53
    Car fuel = $106.23
    Food estimate = $ 250

    Total cost = $2644.75

    I am not counting lost wages and overhead as I was still in the area for my normal earnings by the end of the month. I was also able to cover my costs and make a small profit.

    Well she broke down with some emission system problem yesterday. Thankfully it happened when I got home. Might have a option to use a spare rig while mine is in the shop. Fingers crossed but won't know anything til Monday
