    Close ... I came up with a net of $240 a week on 5500 miles a week, running $.36 split as team for 4 weeks, $.36 solo for 2 weeks on 2500 miles, truck down for maintanence for 3 days, with a $.02 bonus paid on the off week, FICA and a $80 per week medical contribution .. the kicker ... $.05 for maintenance fund ... that's the iffy part. Well that and 5500 miles.

    I always figured if I got another truckI would drive the NEW lease truck(because I know I can make it earn its keep) then put another driver in this one,should make money that way,and if that driver is not so hot not as big a loss,only like what 166.00 with no tractor payment? I think a driver should be able to cover that overhead,plus i can watch him anyways(the way he fuels,miles per day,when he is mt,loaded,etc...) right here thru swiftowners website and my computer.....

    I'm not getting one of those, if I can't get a refurb columbia I'm not getting nothing else they offering. (You DO NOT pay 9 cents per mile to IEL in excess miles with the refurb columbia)

    I am putting down $2700 that way I'm not paying an extra $100 per week on the truck payment to cover the down payment.

    I'm not putting the truck otr, it will cost a lot less to get fix when it breaks, I'm not going to be otr so I won't be 2000 miles away, more like about 600 miles away max.

    I understand what your saying that why I'm not just going to jump in there without planning and with 2 truck note a week.

    Scottie, you remind me of my old o/o boss who, quite honestly, worried the crap out of soul for those very circumstances you described.

    And he deducted my workmans comp FROM my check. $161/month......yes

    I've asked several o/o their response to that, they all said its SHADY
