    Get to know everything mechanically about your truck spare fuel filters and tools will be important. Good luck and be safe. Fuel economy and being able to do routine maintenance yourself will be the difference. Being an O/O is a tough business.

    Curious: why do you show a truck payment and security deposit when you mentioned a few videos ago that you paid off the truck?

      I'm continuing the spreadsheet as if I were still leasing. I own it now but I don't want to start a whole new spreadsheet for like two weeks of O/O work. Wouldn't make sense.

    This has to be satire. 71cpm as a lease-op is not more than a company driver. You are 1099. Company is W-2. You are going to feel the pain at tax time. Company has benefits, health insurance, PTO, bonus, 401k matching, sick time, the list goes on. You have exactly none of those things. In order to make leasing viable, the pay has to be significantly higher than 71cpm after expenses. I make more per mile as a company driver than you do as a lease-op. And I run dedicated for Swift, one of the shittiest companies out there. You deserve better. Hopefully Landstar works out. Or you might hit it big at WSOP and this whole thing will be moot, anyway.

      Swift dedicated over .70cpm I really doubt that, they sell you a dedicated run with the guaranteed of miles run, I really really think is a LIE of .70cpm 😂

    What program do you use for editing? And what do you film in? Would love to see your camera setup. Very nice job with your videos and editing. Would love to know what you use. 👍🏻

      I use Shotcut for editing. I'm certainly not expert though. I just use a google pixel 7 for filming.... Really nothing special. Not much to it. The phone is just in landscape mode when in filming.

    Is your Net Settlement before Federal and/or State taxes taken out?

    • @truckingthesevenseas
      @truckingthesevenseas  5 месяцев назад

      It is not. I pay that separate. I don't go into taxes because there is way too many factors that each individual needs to account for. My tax burden is different form yours.
