Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

That's operating costs. Obviously I didn't include payroll costs. I pay myself 1k a week, and the rest goes into a business acct for maint, taxes, etc.

 

I make $200 every 2 weeks..this is my whatever money.
The rest floats in my Business accounts..once it hits a certain amount part of it gets transferred to our personal account.
In reality I am still a company driver..sure I drive a nice truck and book my loads but the wife is the financial wiz.
So she calls the shots..It works out really well.
I'm 5-6 years from retirement.

 

Yeah, but you're 97 Dougal!

 

I've had to go somewhere other than where I delivered for an empty. But has been on the way so only a few miles OOR. Not bad so far ( 5 months in ).

 

Awesome for you, and that's not sarcasm...

 

Geez..I'm only 51.
I feel like 97..kids do that to you.
My oldest son is turning 28..he's probably around the same age as most of you!
The horror.
