I get it but sometime i think your better off working in a factory somewhere. Spending 1800 on fuel. 300.00 on tolls every week for a net of 800.00 sometimes isnt worth it. OO lease or company driver its all a racket. There are different business models for each catagory . None are profitable based on sacrifices made .
Some numbers for new O/O

Theres different ways to go about it. At the end of the day the name of the game is getting your own authority and booking your own loads. If theres a gf or wife at home by a computer it makes life much easier. Perferably you want a truck with under 500k pre def. If you dont have cash to buy a truck you want small personal unsecured loan with low interest 5-9% and cash on hand would be ideal. I would only buy from an owner operator. Insurance will be high first two years then settle back down. Anyway I run a drop deck book all my loads n gross about 7k a week sometimes more sometimes less but 7k is average. None of this is in order but hope my 2 cents helps.
