I am not asking what anyone makes and I am not trying to get personal, just gathering info. I may be wrong on some #'s below, please correct me if I am wrong. This is assuming 300 miles a day/5 days a week.
If you have a 40k van loan and you avg 6000 miles a month at an avg of .90cpm including fsc, what do you get as a driver per mile to give to mama, .40cpm? I am guessing that the truck gets about 50cpm for everything including a nice nest egg for slow times and repairs
Are these numbers pretty doable? I would hope 10k miles a month, 500 a day/5 days a week avg but it doesn't look like it in this industry. I say 5 days a week because that seems to be common to have a few days a week of waiting on a load.
It boils down to, can you take home 4-6k month in this job? Being on the road away from family can be tough if its just 2-3k a month and gone 4-6 weeks at a time.
Thanks.
