    I'd find that hard to believe. And I’m an OO with the pumpkin.

    What would be hard to believe about a team bringing in 370k “revenue “?
    The ad never said it was “net”.

    5000 miles per week, 50 weeks a year is 250,000 miles. $350,000 per year is $1.40 per mile, which isn't that hard to believe. I wouldn't run a team at those rates, especially if it's part of a lease purchase scam. I'm guessing that once the numbers are run, you're making solo company driver money without any benefits, and MAYBE they give you enough miles to let you keep your used up truck at the end of your lease.

    My best year was $190k solo, but I still find $370k a little hard to believe

    The ad never says anything about NET….
    370k for a team to GROSS is more than possible.

    I’m scratching my head.

    If the range of earnings says 260-270, it would seem pretty ####ing unlikely to be 370. But apparently there’s quite a few people in here that have worked doing team o/o for Schneider, and have no doubts that it can be done.

    no carrier advertises net earnings for an owner operator because everyone figures costs different. They can only advertise gross potential earnings.



    I never worked for Schneider in any capacity. I stayed at the quality Inn one time though.
     
    PPNLE, Siinman, dwells40 and 6 others Thank this.

    My o/o gross in 2021 was $266k and in 2022 $228k with being home every weekend and about 10 months of work.
    $370k for a hard running team is not extraordinary
     
    Siinman and dwells40 Thank this.
