Some numbers for new O/O

I think so . Everybodys opinion is different. I get fuel discounts use their trailer dont have to write an invoice get paid following week,pick my own loads from load boards plus the company im leased to has drop hook accounts. So if i book a load to Kroger for ex. i drop and hook to an empty stay moving.

 

Thanks rusty for all your useful information. I appreciate it.

 

4. Driver salary (pretend you are an experienced company driver and you make $72k per year, so $6000 per month.

Based on how many miles per week? I plan to stay out three weeks at a time.

 

Lol shark brokers huh? So easy for every truck driver to blame brokers for missing revenue goals when they don’t wanna pound out cold calls and get their own accounts.

Instead they want brokers to pound calls and post loads for them on DAT AND they want brokers to lose money lol.

If brokers aren’t making 18-22 percent margins on loads they clearly aren’t doing it right.

 

this is the reason why when people ask for advice i always advise them to get a proper risk analysis done by a qualified accountant you've just saved them a whole bunch of money by providing a very good indication of costs the only cost that's not included is that on the human mind being able to cope with the stresses and strains of an O/O and the anxiety, what cost does one put on that?

 

That means you need to do 3000 miles a week @ $0.50 mile.

Not many people are going to do that.

Like 1 in 500 maybe.
