I think you did great as a solo for 28 days. I ran solo for 5 months before my same household (girlfriend) got here Class B after 2 yrs of having a Class A permit and I diidnt do that well. I had an average take home of 425.00 and that was recving 30 % of the truck revenue. I'm impressed that you made that much as a solo, seems to be hard to do but can be done. Now, as a team, we average about what you made as a solo, but this MONTH has been hard on us. We moved into a different truck (we are in a W/G truck now) but have been broke down a total of 12 1/2 days this month!!! Thank goodness we don't have to pay repair costs!! BUT, we DON'T get breakdown pay and we are down again for the same thing we broke down for in Cali...lower intake turbo and entire DPF system ETA for repairs to be complete? 11/02/2011. Not good on the pocketbook this month, but things can only get better! MAN LOOk AT THE SNOW!!!
