Better check that calculator. May 15 - Sept. 1st is 15 1/2 weeks, or 3 1/2 months. At $55,700, you averaged $3593.55 per week, or $15,914.29 per month.

Not impressive at all, but I would avg $250K gross/year at that rate.

Good luck getting a steady stream of revenue for the other 8 1/2 months of the year. :lol:

I pulled out my ledger to get the exact figure, and from May 22 - August 22, I did $81,300 to the truck (my cut). That comes out to $6253.85 per week, or $27,100 per month. That was on 19371 miles (give or take), so it comes out to $4.19 per mile for all miles driven.
Some statistics:
- I had 24 individual shippers for the entire summer.
- Those 24 shipments were done in 13 trips.
- My average shipment paid me $3387.50
- My average trip paid me $6253.85
- My gross linehaul for the summer was around $117,259.61. That is just the transportation, before any accessorials, and before the company takes their cut.
- The average shipper paid about $8000 for their move, from beginning to end.
- Labor ran me approx $12,000 for the summer.
- My best month was June, when I did about $30,400.
- I never drove over 7400 miles in a month.
- I got home once for the entire summer, for 2 weeks in July.
- I used approx. 3500 gallons of fuel for the summer, at an average price of about $2.89 per gallon. That comes out to a $10,115 fuel bill.
- I took all of September off, and am planning to do the same in December.
One reason my numbers are higher than Bandits Cousin's is because the company I pull for held out when all the other van lines dropped the FSC 8%. We stayed at the full FSC, which averaged around 18% for the summer. We have now dropped down to the same as the rest of the industry, and it sucks.
So far, they have been able to keep me moving since I came back out, but the loads are definately lacking.
