What are you doing now Jason ?
Well guys I’ll tell you how we got to this point in some videos starting tomorrow or Monday .
I took a Company Position with a mid sized company out of Indiana . About 90-93 trucks . I am paid 30% of 100% . I have the option at any time to lease this truck at 88% but I wanted to get the feel for the company first which I think is smart and they actually recommended too. Yes , a honest company for once that didn’t just want to push you into a lease without knowing them first . That says a ton to me . I’m not gonna tell you where I’m at till I get a good grip on it and can tell you all the ins and outs of it . My truck is a 26 Freightliner , Fridge , Microwave, Inverter . Opti idle no apu but the Opti works great I’m averaging pen to paper about 8.7 mpg .
So my first week I started on Wednesday mind you . Wednesday afternoon actually. I grossed $7,550.00 my 30% of that is $2265.00 on 1847 miles this includes DH , which equates to $1.2263 so call it $1.23 as a company driver folks it does not get any better than that now does it . This gross is from Wednesday about 15:00 pm till my delivery this Monday at 0600 am in Florida . Monday is payroll cut off by midnight . Paid Friday . Big thanks to the couple guys who recommended this place so far it’s great I’ve never made 1.23 a running mile as a company driver anywhere and I was a Walmart Private Fleet driver for 5 years 2004-2009 . Yes it’s 1099 and I have to pay taxes I fully understand that . But on a $9000 week this would be $2700 after taxes I’m still looking at $2100 maybe 2200.
If I was leasing this truck with the fuel I purchased on this week I would have brought home $2814.27 after all deductions and maintenance at 88% .
Why did I pass on Hurricane well that’s a story all to itself and one I’ll tell on video soon . But I had my reasons folks I had my reasons and you find them out too and yes it will burn the bridge with them when I say why I passed but I’m gonna shoot you strait folks .
I’m over the moon with how this week went .
Monday orientation
Tuesday / move in truck and a Tornado and no power anywhere in the area .
Wednesday first load
Thursday first delivery and reload

This Monday delivery … ends first week payroll ..
