I was company at Prime but most of the drivers there are lease. I would say if you just talk to a Prime driver in the truckstop they'll most likely be a lease driver.

I was never forced to run out my 70 more like 55-60. Plenty of time off actually a month paid with vacation and holiday pay per year, I'd volunteer for weekends if I wanted extra cash. I'm just saying your asking for company driver money with all the headaches of ownership.dunchues, Ssgtkevin, RussianBearTruckeR and 1 other person Thank this. -

But, as soon as you need to go to specific location, then your are are constrained to only the freight going there. There may not be that much freight and or it may not pay that well.
Same with heading out. How good is the freight where you live and does go to where the freight is good.
So you'll only do well for one week. The other 2 weeks are going to be hit and miss.
If you want make it, go on a 12 week cycle. 9 to 9.5 weeks out and 2.5 to 3 weeks home. Overall it's the same amount of home time. And you stand reasonable chance to make enough during the 7 weeks to cover the short fall of the outbound inbound weeks. -

Ok, enough.
When I did it with Schneider 2 or 5 years ago, $10k a month meant that you really weren't trying that hard.
That was all in......fuel, insurance, the whole deal.
But, at the end of the year you needed to set aside at least $15k for taxes and, according to my accountant, another $15k for SEP, (ROTH).
PLUS....maintenance.......my worst year was $15k.
So, $120k, minus $45 = $75k
There ya go.
Look, it was really good to me with Schneider. The best part was knowing what I was going to do from one day to the next.
The money allowed me to pay off a bunch of stuff and be completely debt free.
People talk a bunch of stuff about Schneider, and that's fine.....but most of them have never run for them. I have and did well.Bumper, The Road Gnome, HoneyBadger67 and 6 others Thank this.
