Wow, it's like are you people for real?Your ragging on @Rowdy1 for only bringing home 2k a week after all expences. Like you guys have some special insight on how much he should really be bringing home. Its like telling a guy driving a Porsche, "too bad you could have a Ferrari"
What are Owner-Operators actually paid at Swift?

Not trying to bash the guy...hes doing good. But without a truck payment...at least bring home $1 per mile...hes bringing home .58 per mile while owning his own truck. Company driver gets .50 after 5 yrs.
Just saying....you can do better. And idk how that makes me a super trucker whi eats pizza and 64oz soda and tennis shoes lol.. But OK... Haha -

You are right Rowdy1. As long as you are happy with your lease purchase, why should anyone else care. Really it's none of their business to judge if you are working too hard, could make more etc. I lease purchased two tractors( one at a time). I completed each lease on time, got clear title in my name. These forums are filled with drivers that have every thing negative to say about lease purchase. It's not easy, you have to be efficient and use good business judgement. I wonder how many of them actually tried a lease purchase compared to how many knew it was a bad deal without actually leasing. Keep your focus on finishing you lease purchase and getting title in your name.

My point was even with a paid off truck there are still a ton of ways money gets siphoned off before it hits the bottom line some expected and some unexpected. If he can cover all that and still have a smile on his face he's doing all right in my book. I don't know about anyone else but a 2k a week check to deposit would sure make my old lady smile.

My neighbor has his own authority and so far this year all miles is $1.51 down from last year at this time $1.63 mile. It's been a soft year. Another friend works for landstar and all miles for him this year is 1.43 mile.
When I say all miles that means both empty and loaded average of both.
They both own their truck and take home more then 2k for a 3400 mile week
Hell son in law gets, .56 a mile company driver... For 3400 mile week is a little over 1,900
And if pointing out 2k bring home on 3400 is low or sad for owning your own rig is belittling then you should most likely stop getting on the internet.....Last edited: Nov 21, 2016

2k a week is great....... Now. 3400 MILES for 2 k. ........ Does that still nake u smile?? What is being said is not that bringing 2k home a week is bad...( of COURSE THAT'S GOOD)..what was said is that driving 3400 miles a week and no truck payment and only bringing home 2k is sad. Guy just said his buddy makes 1.50 Mile so at only 3000 miles he gets 4500....mins furl etc...
Its not the $2,000. Its bringing that after driving 3400 miles -
2000 is good....it's the miles and the owning your own truck that we can see improvement.. Just trying to help another guy.. Not belittle your success.Last edited: Nov 21, 2016
