Realistic Profit for White Glove Truck Owner

New Recruit

Would someone mind sharing what the realistic profit is for the owner of a truck to make as just a owner and not a operator on a straight truck providing white glove service? Based on 75% Availability and after all expenses including paying the drivers. Thanks

No hard answer.
How good is the team ? Do you have one with a proven track record ?
How good is the truck ? Almost impossible to answer. A truck that was good last week may not be good next week.
And how expensive is the truck ?
Did you buy it right or overpay ?
And how good of an owner are you ?
Do you know what you’re doing or are you learning ?

It can be profitable. And it can be unprofitable.

More thoughts.

It’s not a good investment for a non-trucker.
Too much to know.
I doubt if anyone not selling management services will say there’s enough profit to pay a management company.
We lose knowledgeable owners due smaller profits, rising expenses, and increasing regulations.
A recruiter will tell you anything. So will someone selling you something.

I would guess you'd have to ask a white glove team that question. In this forum, I believe they've gone the way of the dodo.
