It's not so much what you make, but what you keep...however, repairs are unpredictable. It's easy to spend 5 to 10k on a repair bill, tires etc

I made $192000 and company lost $11000 this this is me doing amazon and other load boards ive been in this for 3 years and I think im done its a headache and when I watched your video and you make 66000 it confirms that I should give it up and go back to a company I think il make more $$$ and no headache only thing I loose is freedom of woking when I want and that's it. in 2024 you might make half of what you made in 2023.

That's a great first year brother 🍻. Your insurance will go down over time. Just started the third year of my authority and mine is down to 500 per month and my truck is paid for. My overhead is super low now.. I run about the same amount of miles as you but I do tanker. Best of luck to you.

Great advice, buy a cash truck 10-25k from early 2000s or the 90's. Those trucks are harder to find but theyre out there! Also, the guy drives an old honda civic thats dirt cheap to own and drive. Guys like this will survive in tough markets.

These haters are giving you a hard time for only making a median wage net after all that headache and grind. I think you are gaining priceless experience AND netting a living wage. You’ll adapt, adjust, and make more money with less effort because you’re on the ground, doing it and getting it. 👊🏼

Did you say you’re paying $2300/month to keep your DOT active? And is your insurance so high because you didn’t have any prior driving experience?
@mannyactual
8 ай бұрын
Yes. I had $1200 with a prior commercial insurance but they got rid of there commercial insurance dept. So progressive was my only option. They raised it to $2300. But I got quoted for $1500 for my 2005 Volvo. So the year of truck does make a difference as well as driving years. I will be making a change on other Volvo soon.
