Running as a SOLO

[wayneg26]

I have an offer to run for Tri-State running solo the deal is 60% Load 100% Fuel SCH...

Will I be able to make it as a SOLO and bring home a pay check? I am not looking to get rich but want to bring a pay check home.....


I have already tried the team thing and it is not for me......


Comments please Thanks

It all depends on what a "paycheck" means.

If you are looking for 750 a week, maybe but ... that's gross.

I would review the contract and make sure it is good and clear on who gets what and when.

I get about 175.00 a week unemployment that is about to run out and that is about 750.00 a month..... I dont have a lot of bills....

would I be able to make more then 750.00 a month TAKE HOME after taxes?

You would be an independent contractor and responsible for your own taxes. If done correctly you should really not owe any.

You should be able to do okay, Solo freight is running well right now. It will take sometime to get to know the ends and outs of the system. Work with your owner, and also use the mentors that Tri-State has, they are all good people. In a couple of months you should be doing well. Good luck
