That looks like excellent revenue to me. Excellent month.
As mentioned bottom line ( net ) is what matters. I mean you had to have netted 22K or 23K or moar before taxes. How can anyone not like that?
Of course this is TTR, so that's laundry money for most.
Fuel. The other thing that's over looked with good fuel economy, is your engine isn't working nearly as hard. That is also huge.
Here's our last Master Trip we just completed.
The difference in fuel cost is basically I get two free trips across the U.S. for the same fuel cost for the gallons you used.
Just to put it in perspective.
Rate my month! How did I do as an Owner Operator?

My next truck will have a 12.7. That's the best I can do, I think. I just don't want a new truck. I know that might sound stupid, considering this is a business, and I should use the best tools available to be most efficient. But I don't want a new truck, and you can't make me!!!!!!!!!!!

OTR and MPG is all the difference
I have all new gear and run faster than I usually should but I still get over 7.5 and if I run closer to 65-67 it starts to do better at around 8.5 plus
I figure every 1mpg nets me about $1200 per month back to the bank but that would vary depending on miles ran and fuel cost
Higher the fuel and miles and the savings would increase
I save about $25,000 per year or more over what my friends spending on fuel aloneRideandrepair, clausland, Brettj3876 and 3 others Thank this. -

Sounds crazy but I wouldn’t worry about fuel too much. You can easily add 50-100 dollars on to the rate to cover it.

The main point of the post was "is this 'good' money"? When I was in the oilfield, people would ask me about the money. I would say "I make a lot of money, but it isn't 'good' money". They ask what I mean, and I'd tell them "Is $200k per year good money when you're averaging 120 hours per week?" Yeah, I stacked a lot of cash in the bank. But at what cost?Rideandrepair, Speed_Drums and GYPSY65 Thank this. -
I think you can do better....
