My numbers should have been way more than $130k, but I had engine failures on both of my trucks, long downtime and I pay my guy even if he sits at home doing nothing, while the truck is in the shopjochnessmonster, Ruthless, mc8541ss and 3 others Thank this. -
Im going to get started out real soon and its hard to find information. Do you think its better to get my own authority straight out the gate or lease on to a company? Im in Nebraska and there are a few companies that are saying 200k-350k a year, 88% of the load. I was thinking doing that for a year or two and then getting my own authority.Rideandrepair Thanks this. -

Without ELDS, it could be possible to squeeze one more move, but the way it is, I can't find enough time to accommodate it. So 3 moves a week for me; 1 makes money, 2nd supplements it, 3rd gets me home for cheap. Sometimes finding a load home is a problem too. If the rates are hot I could see getting $500 - 700 more but not very often. So let's not think that everybody can get easily minimum of 5.5K gross in 5 days. DRY VAN - we're talking about.Last edited: Sep 5, 2018

If your plan is to have a few trucks and not be driving in 10 years it would be better to buy a truck and get started but not cash out on it. Make payments and keep getting new ones once they hit 500k miles. It would cut out a lot of downtime and maintenance.
I wouldnt pay myself 130k, I have no kids I can live off 1k a week and feel like a king.
The only thing I dont like is this doesnt put any money aside for the business other than the 25k a year for maintenance. There is really no plan to expand.CorsairFanboy and Mooseontheloose Thank this. -
