how about the depreciation cost of the truck for the owner? Tax as well, Missing family members, trash food, a deterioration in driver's condition, Risk of traffic accident, and so on.
Those problems are going to look like a walk in the park when your truck is sitting in the yard without a load for days. These pay statements are from good times. Most owner operators don’t even get enough work for year around. Majority of these companies hiring owner operators so they don’t have to stand down their own trucks in slow time.

Is that including taxes? 1/4 ly taxes? Workmen comp?bobtail insurance? Physical Damage insurance? Cargo insurance? Truck payments? Truck repairs? Health insurance?That's not enough. Think before you sign any contract.
When you've spent as much time doing something, it really is hard to abandon it at the early signs of trouble. Sometimes you just gotta persevere and fight for better days

It's how flat nosed trucks are driven, spec'd, and maintained. Put a light footed kid in a Pete with higher gears and you'll think he's driving a Freightliner.
Seeing how much u claim to be paying your OOs im sure that u are underpaying them. In Chicago u can get 100k as company driver so why would anyone sane accept loads from u if they dont make 200-250k$. Logic and math left the chat
I think the best way to look at it is to calculate your quarterly earnings or every 3 months. As an O/O in the U.S. we have to pay taxes quarterly.
That's a good way to look at it
No we do not have to pay taxes quarterly, at the end of a year
Hey Ronin, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!

Shut up, none of that (other than the depreciation)vis a business expense. Not every driver had a family, they all have a truck.

there is no way the fuel surcharge is that low for a 15-day period, looks like robbery to me.
You think so?
Hey man, these drivers are making less gross. I am working with dryvans that are making at least $8000 a week.
Congrats
Hi, you mentioned during a video that you keep volvos for european drivers. Why they prefer that?
After seeing this video, I'm going to stick with hazmat tanker, I know rates are down but two weeks to gross 10k is not that good to me
Is that 1$ per mile net minus truck payment?
Company drivers make more than us
That's the industry we work in
@ perhaps it’s time to get out. It makes us grow old fast

Dammit that so sad them drivers are getting rip off
Is it worth becoming a lease operator for flatbed right now? 2024 2025
That depends on your personal circumstances
Rates are real bad $$ no money Brockers keeping all the money with company
