    1400-1475 is -75. On your worst weeks you would loose 75 bucks. On your best weeks 2600-1475=1125. On average you'd make 560 a week. For that, stay a company driver.

    Why not, your business needs to fund your lifestyle. If your business model wont suport it, you need to know that. you always want to factor in your personal expences when you make a business decision. unless your not the owner, personal expenses are why you run the business. You dont run a business long term just to grow the business. You run a business so you can grow it and make more money for all the personal things you want to buy. If your morgage is 2000 a month, you dont want to take a truck payment that leaves you only making 2000 a month.

    I have a good friend that hauls containers. He likes being home every night. He does $1500 /wk. Thing is, he's responsible for the tires on the container chassis. $505 a pop. And the roads are heating up. Factor that in to your figures.

    next year that shaker will be worth 1/2 that, they do not hold their value and are a throw away truck from the big name outfits. Buy a KW or pete which will retain their value far longer.
