How much do truck owners earn in the USA? Does anyone have information about it?

[mrcorc]

Hello everyone, I'm thinking of buying a truck in the USA, can anyone help with how much the truck owners earn there?

[Redstang88]

Money can be good once you get established, but honestly when you account for the 200 grand to buy a truck, plus maintenance, astronomical fuel costs, etc you’re probably better off driving for someone else to start out

[mrcorc]

I have close to 300 thousand savings, how much is the estimated monthly income?

[Redstang88]

Too many variables

[Guy13]

60,000 plus is what cousin said. He probably not being totally honest though.

[mrcorc]

60 thousand dollars a month?

[Guy13]

They wish... yearly BUT he's not one to be straight on Numbers...

[mrcorc]

Yes definitely, from what I hear they make between 15-20 thousand dollars per month.

[Guy13]

See, My cousin is not honest about money. I get it as it is personal. I think I could sleep on the side of the freeway for that amount...

[mrcorc]

Yes good money, where are you from?

[Guy13]

USA in a place with open roads and only one toll road in the whole state. Railways all over the place, trucker gas stations or 2 acre gas yards are all over the place.
No union state so Business is very good here and Labor is reasonable but not cheap.

that's fine, can I ask you a favor? i live in turkey can you take me there, i want to live in usa

[Guy13]

Sorry that is beyond my abilities. I play soccer with a Turk who got a work Visa to USA. He's trying to become citizen.

[In_Trance]

Are they a company driver or broker? Own the truck or lease?
