Some people have multiple incomes. Could be they own a separate business or they are married to someone who can pay the personal expenses. My break even point includes My Mortgage, Life Insurance, IRA, health insurance, Maintenance reserve among many other things.

Wages (Rookie driver) .335 cpm (because he owns the truck) What does this driver have to make per mile to break even? I can add it up for you. Let's say the expenses are $2950/mo(expenses for which I have costs listed) plus $5333 fuel. He only needs to make $1.04/mile.

http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tru...questions.html Yet, no one wanted to answer it...Maybe they didn't know the answer so they focused on something other than the question. Kinda like you on this thread you can't focus on the topic. What was funny about that thread is my father has been doing this for what? Two/three months? He hasn't killed anyone. Hasn't lost a load. Hasn't got a ticket. Hasn't been pulled over at a scale for inspection.
