That is soooo awesome.. you can be my sugar daddy now!!!![]()
Soooooo.... is this a cereal thread or wuuuuut? Probably not. amirite?
Maybe i should seriously start thinking of going O/O. Swift, you have to take a class about it, and get 8 mo. solo under your belt first (from what i was told).
Both my mentors were O/O, my last one showed me what he made a week. After fuel and truck payment and taxes, he was taking home $1400-1500 a week. Now granted i was on his truck, and he was getting mentor pay...so i'm thinkin' the real number would be closer to $1,000-1,200 a week.
But let me pass along what i know, and someone can tell me what i'm missing, and where i might be wrong.
O/O you have a weekly truck payment, you pay your your fuel out of pocket (some of the cost is offset by fuel surcharge). You lease your truck onto whatever company, and they pay for registration, and insurance. you pay for maintence, B-service, inspections...the qualcomm unit....everything. I know you get a bigger chunk of money per mile, but what exactly should that average? i know every company is different, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
What i've thought about, is if my credit is good enough, to get a truck from a 3rd party, and not go thru the company for said 'lease'. Any companies have 'walk away' leases anymore? Couple reasons i would want a 3rd party truck....1) it is MY truck. can do with it what i want...drive it home, bobtail, have a dog, whatever. 2) I dont want to get some truck that has 100k miles on it, be a year or two old, and then 'sold' to me a being 'new'.
I was in the El Paso terminal, and saw a poster saying "lease me for $495/week"...and it was a 2005 Kenworth. i've heard drivers getting $500/wk payments, but the truck they bought isnt more than a year or two old. Being a 2005, you dont know what is wrong with it....accidents, etc. and i am sure the company selling it, wont be totally upfront with you about it either.
I want to go O/O, but first, i've gotta get steady mileage. this 1500-1800/wk isnt cutting it. I would say NOW, i am getting 2000 on average (seeing how i just ran 1800 in 3 days going Houston to Temple to Fresno) but i'd like to see 2500 average before i commit to going O/O. Dont want to start each week in the hole for the truck payment, and only being able to 'make' $100 a week.
I wouldn't start my truck for $1,000 a week. If it gets down to that I will park it first.
Don't know about the rest of you.... I'm waiting for the "PUNCH-LINE"..
Destroy the cities...and they will rebuild them.Destroy the farms...and grass will grow in the streets of the cities.
Destroy the economy of the blue-collar worker...and grass will grow in the executive offices.
The bill has come due.
( R E T I R E D , and glad of it)
Well....I didn't know how to take it, myself.
I figured it was all put on, but I've seen some strange things around here. (It has amazed me that there are so many that come here, looking for work in this industry, with a record as long as your arm.) Who knows. It might be "for real" but then again, here shortly we might see the "punch-line".![]()
I dont know anybody that has a $2000 a month payment. $500 a week, every week, is outragous.
Don't trust anybody. Especially that guy in the mirror.
Do I have to tell you guys everything??
The post, with its intentional spelling errors, WAS the punchline!
Geez!
Sinc.... ya GOTTA get off the drugs, man!! Or learn to SHARE!![]()
Remember... friends are few and far between.
TRUCKIN' AIN'T FOR WUSSES!!!
"I am willing to admit that I was wrong." The Rev.
hobo, I'm glad you brought that up. Seems like, the guys looking for work, that have a past, usually have terrible typos. (like I'm any better)
Well, that is one thing I noticed when I read the OP's post. I didn't think anything about it, although, I had an idee that something smelled fishy
I assumed it was a joke, but you never know around here.I've seen some strange threads that make you wonder if the poster is "for real".
