I was driving for an owner 60/40 split and it came out to be about 32 cents per mile after paying for fuel. Plus the FSC and any other extras. So if i had like a 3000 mile week i could clear a grand. Before taxes...

Promaster has single wheels in the back

i was thinking a promaster i just meant sprinter vaugely the 3500 promaster at least the year model i was in can carry almost 4200 without being over 10k

Still running my options was wondering what everyones thoughts would be in buying a 3500 van vs a 2500 van. Definately going to get a model that fits 3 skids and is high roof. Obviously the difference is that i can carry more weight, but it seems like most of the loads (probably 85%) i was...

You're talking about the risks....if you are driving for an owner its not that much of a risk, yeah you are leaving your job with senority but you have very little up front costs just for driving someone elses truck. Just know driving for an owner is not TOTAL freedom.

Yeah i guess im better off with a sprinter then. Thats too bad i really miss the drive thrus :p

Yeah i do you drive for him too? and thats too bad looks like ill be finding another carrier.

Do you know if roadrunner even leases on cargos? thats who im with right now as well.

I have been in a high top 3500 promaster for about 4 months now driving for a owner. As i start to stray into the idea of O/O, im looking into getting a cargo van like a chevy express or the likes. Definitely the extended version so i can fit 3 pallets. definitely 3500. So far i have hauled...

I haven't, thank you

I feel like everyone hates me for only speaking English in laredo

should mention im in a van.

That other thread about Laredo had me thinking, what other major cities or areas have you guys had bad luck getting anything going back out and constantly had to deadhead out? I want to start being more picky about the loads i take so i can as best as possible avoid sitting.

Just seems like I wouldn't be getting a load any time soon, but I'm probably just going to wait it out

well damn, was super pumped about the 2k mile load i had coming here, where do you guys normally deadhead to from here? ive had bad luck with dallas but other than that dont get to this area often. are San antonio or Houston any good?

Yeah I understand but I think around 8-10k would be enough to cover me as start up money. On the other hand everything could go right and I make good money. Life is a gamble sometimes

huh?

i dont think ive gone 3 days without a load let alone 6 months

So im pretty set on getting something used in the $17-$27k range used something like a 2013-15 with less than 200k, not sure what model but definitely a 3500 and the longer version. So what do you think would be a good amount of start up money to get it started? i was thinking 8k would be a...

Yes sir I've been working for a fleet owner for about 3 months, figuring the 40 percent Im paying to him could go to my own van and pay it off in about a year based on my money needs, conservative miles estimate, etc. Not only that but I don't like being told how long I need to stay out and what...
