Owner operator worth it

Yes I don't believe the numbers they make they make it seem like there is lots of profit and as most of u said if it was easy everyone would do it that's y I come here to get a true outside opinion.

 

They got no money to buy a truck for him to work for them. And I don't drive I got a full time state job I can't leave lol. And my family are all leased on to other company's the goal was to try to get this to work by yr 5 have 3trucks then start buying trailers.

I'm just trying to get an idea of a break even point for most trucks. I know this is different for everyone but there has to be a ruff idea of what my break even point could be.

 

Yes see this is what I wanna hear just ruff ideas on what I need. I know the business well enough to know its not predictable Or stable just looking for a lil help to break even on the truck your right I'm not factoring in my personal life at all I really don't need it would be a nice plus but wouldn't profit a penny for yrs even if I could.

 

Thank you.

 

If I gets pushed its fine it's no different then any other business plan u set a goal sometimes that goal gets moved. I got nephews who wanna drive and are 8yrs out so maybe that works lol.

And I would be lying if I said I wanna break even my first yr I know it's probably not possible. But I can't afford to pay thousands of dollars of my own money out either. I can put a couple thousand back for a oh #### find but I need to atleast cover all my truck expenses every yr. paying myself isn't an issue long as bills r paid and money's getting saved for a motor fund.

 

So all expenses paid every week counting my driver is it possible to do this for under 3,500 a week? That's my goal so I can save 1000 per week for every non breakdown week (motor or big break down fund)
