"Miles think"?

See, thats what Im talking about. I get like $.50 a mile for courier work and would be a hell of a lot happier making something like that. Edit: What sort of truck are running, and how hard is it to find loads? And I assume your per mile pay is one way...

I have done delivery for years with a car and want to actually make money. Been looking at straight trucks. Finding actual pay per mile and average miles a week for a solo has been difficult. Im seeing $1.35 most often but that seems really low for the cost of the...

See, I wanted this over in the general forum so more people would comment on it. The original thread had all over maybe 4 or 5 actual answers. I would prefer to hear 50 or 60 people weigh in on what the gross/net in an average year.

I know this is a personal question but I want a large sample size to see if its worth it for me to get into a cargo van. What are you grossing for the O/O CVs?

Okay, so its come down to Gross income. So what is everybody grossing? I figure at the least $40K to at the most $100K. Is that about right?

Yeah, he said you need a 2006 or newer van, 3/4 ton. I would have to take out a loan for something that new and I cant really take a risk that big without being 100% sure. Granted my current jobs suck and dont pay very much and I work 7 days a week but I am home every night and dont have much...

I called the guy and talked to him for about 15 minutes specifically about CVs. He claimed less than 10% DH, average between .$90-1.05 a mile plus fuel, and usually 2000+ miles a week.

Owner Operators,Vans,Straight Trucks,& Tractors This is the link to the ad I last responded to. It is based out of KC.

See, I dont really see anyone in their right mind living in a van for weeks at a time to make just above minimum wage. If you can barely scrape out $25K no one would be doing this.

I have talked to several companies hiring cargo vans and they have all said they pay about a dollar+ a mile, 2000-2500+ miles a week(less than 10% dead head), and 100% fuel surcharge. I just dont see how you can only be making $20-30K a year pulling down close to $2K a week. Even with van...

Thats it? Doesnt really seem worth it when you can make $20-25K doing pizza delivery 40 hours a week and be home after 8 hours instead of 8 days/weeks and drive a quarter as many miles.

I am a newb looking to get a van, read a ton of forum posts, did a bunch of searching, and I havent come across more than one or two people saying what their yearly net was as an O/O with a CV. I have seen a few posts that have total miles and figure out a base gross pay based on gas mileage and...
