    new fleet $1000 salary

    First problem is that you are not going to be able to pay your drivers 1000 $ a week nor will they make a 1000 $ a week on a split. By salary, do you mean they will be employees or contractors. More info needed,

    Questions About Driving For An Owner

    1: Both, EO classifieds or carriers will have a list of fleet owner with openings. Usually, unless you are close or willing to travel to the interview, it is done over the phone. 2: Some will and some wont. Personally we have no issues in giving out references. Shoot, you can google us...

    Any money in straight trucking alone?

    As you know we have our fleet with Load 1 and our solos do pretty well. Our drivers are satisfied. They could do better but we all could do better in a perfect world.

    Not always, there are drawbacks to that. Like when you get someone who feels they have the rite to put alot of unpaid miles on the truck just because they are paying the fuel and not considering the added maintenance or wear and tear on the truck. Every mile requires something towards...

    Good weekly estimated revenue for a solo straight? Running full time.....

    200k a year is possible without doing specialized freight if everything falls into place and the team works their butt off and takes very little time off. A team working 44 weeks a year has to gross 4545.00 $ every week to gross 200k a year. Thats in a perfect world. Now lets look at what...

    Good weekly estimated revenue for a solo straight? Running full time.....

    Around 1350 to 1450 miles and if you can do all that with under cdl vehicle then you better stay with it. Your local p&d is close to same income so how many miles do you run to make 2k a week ? Houston would be a good gig if you had freight back. My miles i gave you is for all miles not just loaded.

    Good weekly estimated revenue for a solo straight? Running full time.....

    As a fleet owner that runs mostly solos i can tell you that 4k and up a week is a bunch of ?? Maybe on a good week in the busiest of time with the stars aligning or you are hauling specialized freight { TVAL, WHITE GLOVE or DOD }. Most of the time we see 2-2.5k per wk. on average weeks. Really...

    Not all Fleet owners do a 60/40 {first number to the driver} some do a 40/60. Also many are adopting the 50/50. Some just pay per mile. There are all kinds but the first three are most common and mirror each other in income. We are fleet owners with Load 1. Mssg me and we can talk. We have an...
