[QUOTE="Artee, post: 1318312, member: 24351"] Most likely also has a payment on the tractor to consider. That was good money 20 years ago. When my buddy had his own tractor he was making closer to $260k and that was 10 years ago when he was getting out. He said if he couldn't do at least 800 miles a day he would have to be feeling pretty sick. He would normally try and put in between 1000 - 1200 miles a day. Heck one time I talked to him he was running non-stop between South Dakota and San Francisco. The new E-logs and HOS are really going to put a hurt on making any kind of decent money in the trucking industry. So if you are only running 500 miles a day and getting weekends (or 2 days off a week) I guess that's ok for a local run. You aren't getting rich that's for sure, but its a job. [/QUOTE]
