Here's my payroll breakdown for next week.

I'm scheduled for 5,500 miles in 7 days, with 22 stops.

5,500 miles @ .40 per mile
22 stops @ $25 each
7 days per diem @ $40 each

That's as choo choo as I get.

Where we differ from typical drivers is that we interact with our clients. We deliver/pack and install/remove works in galleries, museums, and peoples homes at each stop. So, we have to be presentable, articulate, and courteous.

Plus you get to see/handle some badass shit. That definitely makes a difference at least in my opinion.

Damn looking at these numbers makes me feel like I went into the wrong field.

2K gross pay is a bad week?!

Not IMO that's about 100k

[Captain Crawfish]

That's a shitty gross pay rate, after carrying all that overhead.

That's just what an owner operator I used to haul fuel with said he can easily make. That's his net pay working locally. 2g net x50 wks not too bad IMO. A lot better money than a majority of people make. A lot of co drivers make half that bring home but they can walk away anytime they choose

[Ruffdaddy]

Is your insurance, 401k and all that covered?

Maybe i dont underatand the trucking business, but i thought rojo said he wasnt an O/O. Wouldnt that mean he is talking pay from a company?

Gross revenue. +6% was a bad trading day for bullet, however.

Do they have taxes withheld or just settle up at year end?

Most are 1099 and settle at the end of the year.

This..

Many also have to pay the tags / taxes on their trucks at the end of the year. We used to have a lot of customers asking for extensions in December / January, and any time they needed a rebuild or a full set of tires. lol.

Most of my career in the industry (7 of 10 years) was on the wholesale side (Dealer Inventory Finance) though. I left the risk desk in 2001.

8 years.

you could be making $2k/wk if you were an o/o!

[slow99]

Most owner operators are not savvy businessmen, and could not tell you the difference between revenue and "pay". I am willing to bet by "gross pay" he means gross revenue.
