O/O pulling chemical tanker,with pay

As I have posted before I signed my truck on with Dana/Suttles pulling chemical tanker,I started in mid December and have been working steady since the first of the year.

I am gonna post my gross pay along with miles traveled,this is not done to be harassed or dragged thru the mud,it is only done as information so that someone out there may make a more informed decision as if this life is something that they might want to consider.I read on this forum all the time about people complaining about others not posting numbers,well these are mine.

When I list total miles it is just that any mile my truck rolls,loaded,empty or personal. As such gross pay reflects all accesorials including fsc and detention.

I am gonna "borrow" Cyanide's way of posting load and mileage info as it is easiest to put together.

Thanks for posting all of this information. It is very informative.

glad someone is reading it... :D

mike3fan, I sent you a pm.

If you don't mind could you also post your 'expenses' I've been trying to get that kind of info from O/O, things like weekly gas/insurance, truck payment. Stuff like that. It's nice seeing your gross, but I'd like to see the net.
