OK, I will be the first to bite. Who do you work for and what type of freight do you haul to make $100,000/yr?

I'm sure somebody who likes to play with figures will break all of this down :P

Trucker's calculator in hand. :wink:

$100,000 per year / 45 weeks per year (I assume you take SOME vacation) = $2222.22 per week.

$2222.22 per week - $250.00 per week lumping = $1972.22

$1972.22 / 2500 miles per week = $0.78 per mile :roll:

And here's where it gets fun:

1. 2500 miles per week / 4 days = 625 miles per day, plus loading and unloading. 625 miles / 55 mph = 11.36 hours per day driving :roll: . Way to show that you are fudging your logs.

2. $1000 per month for loading and unloading paid "under the table". Way to show you are committing tax fraud.

You are a liar, areyouvi3t.

hahaha i know it's hard to believe, but trust me, it's true as the bible, i have witnesses. i give you a hint, my company is not really in the trucking business to make money off of hauling freight, it's in the business of what avondale PA. is known for.

If I remember right you just started driving last year no and ran somebody off the road in Minnesota no?

Your assuming he gets seven weeks vacation? Wish I had that much vacation.

Let me know which mushroom company you drive for so I can stop in on my way home and ask them for a job making 90k a year.
