owner operators how much are you making a year after all expenses on average 5 plus years?

running dry van reefer flatbed dosent matter. Those that financed a truck with a monthly payment pay insurance fuel everything else. After all expenses around what is your gross income after expenses. Not including taxes as that is different for everyone Im just curious how you guys are doing compaired to me a company driver making 89-92k gross a year. thanks

 

They way thingz are going its just a hobby I do during the week

 

Uber drivers making more than owner operator truckers currently.

Waiting for TQL to get into the ride sharing game so I can get cheap rides to the homeless shelter on my 34 hour resets

 

I think you're going to do better than quite a few this year.

 

Why is it always about money, money is definitely important I agree, what about the other perks about being independent vs. being a company driver. Same argument for people that work a job they hate for a big pension and retirement and pass on shortly after retiring. I may not be rich, if I drop dead tommrow I definitely can say I did things my way and did ok financially.

 

I always said if you want to be a trucker or o/o just for the money you're not ever going to be happy. The money is there if you work hard for it but the most successful people in this business like working around/with/on the equipment and bleed diesel fuel.

 

You definitely made a lot more than me 57k but I only worked about 6 months so you do the math however you want.

 

At Schneider you will make so much, you'll need to lease a pup trailer to put it in.
