It sounds like you have personal things going on really affecting your OO business. I live near north Texas and intermodal is really picking up. fuel prices are down as well. You should not be scraping for pennies.
Obviously idk where u are and plus u spoke of a long drive home as well but I’m getting ready to buy a truck and do intermodal they are saying 3500-6k plus a week I’m trying not to get to excited and just work hard and pull 5k a week no kids just a gf and a dog only looking for local but don’t mind staying or a night or 2 for a extra few hundred if it makes sense but watching your content made me think like idk if I wanna jump into this even others where they say it can be bad days and u get 1-2 loads but hopfully u find something better soon good luck 💯 edit his new iPhone update got me typing hella weird excuse the illiteracy
@hemidreamz1620 there are good companies that pay well, with lots of work. The problem i ran into is that even after repeated attempts I couldn't get a call back or email response.
You made 1400 but you had maintenance what is that. Do you pay for fuel, or is that included in the maintenance. Can't tell what you are taking home. Are you paying for insurance out of that 1400. Good luck mister. I know younneed to be home. 1 man 2 kids. But you coud go on the road since you have the girlfriend!!!!
@MS-oz2wu fuel and insurance are already deducted. I use the company fuel card and fuel normally runs $800-1000/ week. I also buy insurance through the company because it only runs about $50/week through the company for bobtail and occupational accident. The $1400 is the net settlement, after fuel and insurance is deducted but I still have to set aside maintenance out of that, which should be $200-300/week with me doing most of the work. I'm making a change, probably within the next week.
@@CDLDave23 I’m glad he asked so I was told I need to get my own insurance as far a non trucking liability 2M worth I’m confused on what that is and since it’s none trucking is it a 3rd kind of insurance like other than healthcare? I’m gonna email them back and ask as well but I’m waiting on a few things before I do but your option on that would be awesome
@@hemidreamz1620 non trucking liability is also known as bobtail insurance or unladen insurance. It's strictly insurance for when you aren't pulling a trailer. 2M in coverage is a bit high. Most companies only require 1M.
@@CDLDave23 so it seems all total your making $1200 to $1300 a wk. ÷ 40 hrs equals $30 per hr. That's less than USP drivers. I can now see why your moving on. And your probably putting more than 40 hrs a wk in. Good luck with your next move. The rates are crap on DAT, $1.80 cpm for flatbeds.
It’s all about location my guy
Yeah I’ve been there recently. No one is taking trucks on at the moment. Thanks for sharing!

You need to be much louder. Thanks. 😊
