Rooms to Go owner operators

120,000 is good pay for a job thats local.every driver has different needs.some like otr and some like being home every nite.Although Im unemployed after 10yrs otr looking for something local to do.I would be willing to take a cut to stay home

 

I suppose "good" is relative to one's personal perception. if one is serious they should run the numbers.

just off the top of my head fuel and labor takes 50k,

 

I think apples and oranges are being discussed here--you can't compare this type of work--with typical OTR O/O--there was a time when many of the LTL carriers used local O/O and they did quite well--there are still many(mostly in the NE) distributors--Whse--etc that use local O/O and they do well--
Bu this type of work is a totally different animal then most on here are accustomed to--
Anyway--Bigray--you say just off top of head? what are you basing this on?
I know NOTHING about rooms to go--other than I have seen a couple of their stores--and so far all I've seen here is speculative--for all I know RTG is the biggest scam in the world--or the best local O/O deal in years--although I'm betting on something in between.
BUT as for running short--whse to store or store to customer homes--obvioulsy you will run many less miles etc--and even with your off top numbers and say another 15K thrown in for misc--expense(probably also tax deductable)--that is still 50-55k net--not bad net money in anybodies book for running LOCAL
Just my $.02

 

Yes, 50-55k is what i est. to be gross earning for a OP.

my off the top was 180 miles a day x 5 x 50 weeks. N 20k for helper / laborer.

 

Yes, that price is legit, even more is possible. SE independent Delivery Services is looking for o/o in the southeast region for home deliveries. They offer sign on bonus and fuel surcharge, too.

 

I saw a trailer with the same info a few weeks back in Texas just outside of Houston. I was not able to get any info while driving. I searched the web and I see they are having info sessions in Georgia and Tennesse, does anyone know of any here in Texas? Or how do I get more information to apply?

 

Their is a ad in todays paper, "job section" looking for drivers.

 

If someone is wanting to get in the profession of owner/operator which company would you suggest they approach? Also, what is the best way to get started in the business period?

Thanks

 

That would be good enough for me for I'm not making anything with FCC and I couldn't bury my father in December, nor take care of Myself and family with $100 every other week. Yet they claim to be no force dispatch, but if I don't take a $1-3 dollar's load they won't give me a load when I try to get ONE. Still haven't gotten a load since March 14, All my money comes from working on my OWN. I'm looking for broker's that will keep me busy in the lane I want to run. So yessssss that would be okay with Me.
