Backhaul drive 525/70=7.5 hours how can he be out of hours?
Good luck averaging 70 mph. Especially going through Atlanta. I'd love to see that happen in real life.

As for profits he is doing it better than many:
2389.00X4=11,356.00-225.00 trailer pymnt=11,131.00-460.00 Ins=10671.00 -Fuel(asum)2100milesX4=8400/6gpm=1400gls@$4.00=$5600.00.
$10,671.00-$5600.00=$5071.00/4=1267.00 per 5 day week,
Better work on your math a bit. There are not 4 weeks in every month, and to base calculations off of it is an idiotic business decision, since you have 4 weeks a year completely unaccounted for.
$2839 per week revenue on 2100 miles
Subtract out 16% for factoring and the lease = $2384.76 per week.
2100 miles / 6 mpg = 350 gallons per week
350 gallons X $4 per gallon = $1400
Insurance is $5520 per year (assuming that $420 was a monthly charge) = $106.15 per week
Trailer is $2700 per year (assuming that $225 is a monthly charge) = $51.92 per week
So, before we've even done any repairs, mainentance, or saving for a replacement truck:
$2384.76
-1400
-106.15
-51.92
________
$826.69 per week
You can make more as a company driver than that.

for me that is very good, saving 1 week income per month at the end of the year he will have over $15,000.00 plus his Volvo trade in for a newer truck,
I doubt it.
