Worked over 40 years in power plants. (Nukes&Coal) across the country. In-between jobs for 6 weeks. Got a job with a trucking company. (Dispatch/coordinator) It was quite an experience. I made that company the most revenue they have received. I have TONS OF RESPECT for truck drivers. Good folks and hard working.
@@renesanchez2210 doing the math there’s no way you can make less money as a contractor Even at the highest payment for a lease being like 800 There’s still no way you make less than 1500 a week But I’m still researching my options and trying to figure things out main reason to do it is that contractors get to choose their own route company drivers have to use a lot of state highways and BS routes
@@renesanchez2210 I may be wrong, but the math I’ve done even assuming the highest lease payment you still can’t make less than 1500 take home unless you have a complete shit week or shitty recaps. Unless I’m in Cali I average around 550-600 miles a day and typically have solid recaps so I should be around $1800 take-home every week and that’s after expenses
@pulsartech2945 yeah you taking into account tires? And tows? Vacations where you still have to make the payments? Tolls? Making zero money aka losing 2 thousand a week during breakdowns? Increased health insurance cost? And taxes don't belive earthing they say about taxes. Anyone who is sleeping employeed pays more in taxes than an employee. That's an objective fact. Also your not running your own business don't fall for that. They run your business but you carry all the risk. I think company is the way to go
