That is spectacular and pretty much what I was trying to achieve when I switched to flatbed. The downside for me was that the company I drove for was new and depended on load boards. Occasionally, the brokers paid ok for local, but mostly, it was pretty cheap. I ended up running into AR most days and picked up lumber loads going back to Dallas because that was the best rate I could find. I could gross $4000-5000, but each week I paid $200 trailer rent, $385 insurance, plus 15% for the company. There were quite a few times they made more money off my work than I did. I think my best week was a take home of about $1800, but my average for the whole time I was there was $1100. I must congratulate you. What you built for yourself is awesome! Keep kicking butt and taking names. And, thanks for sharing your numbers.
