i don't see how owner operators make any money.... do you turn a profit? i'm not asking to know your salary or anything. i'm just curious. i know w/ diesel and maintenance and all the dang taxes and crap from the government.. how do you make money?

Well, I do look and see what's on the plates now and when they do expire, too many with plates on them to keep track of. Hell, half the time I don't even know what day it is, just have to remember what was on TV last night. Don't worry, you'll get to that point some day (hopefully).

depends on who you haul for and what your doing..since i have hazmat i can haul stuff most people won't touch..

to give you an idea on my income i get payed $2.00 a loaded mile and average 2700-3200 miles a week

 

[4.0B2]

dang... but what's your profit per mile? overall, loaded and unloaded.

 

[86MUDRCJ]

Well the funny thing is that i wasn't driving it was in my driveway.. Yes i do realize that i soulda payed it but i dont have the money now. but on the positive side it will give me a chance to smog it. cuz i kinda have to to get the ticket payed off.

Yeqah no thanks bud.lol I wouldn't be able to afford that ever.haha

at $1125 i'd hope i'd never have to buy a tag again! lol

and in MS any vehicle parked in a city limit has to be up to date on registration and inspection

I got a ticket today for outdated registration... when its like a day over. you gotta be kiddin me.

A day or a year, out is out, and out is illegal.


Go buy a car cover. Or park so the plates can't be seen from the street.

$1125? You guys have it easy. In British Columbia theres only one insurance company. And theyre controlled by the government. I pay $175 a month with a clean driving record. My buddy who's crashed and has a speeding ticket or 2, pays over 300 a month ($3600 a year)

That's bad.

I pay $15 a month for each of my RBVs.

i can't afford lunch right now. i definitely could not afford the outrageous price for registration. so if you couldn't afford it then yeah that sucks.

if you just put it off then its on you.

Only $15 a month each? Lucky. I pay $265 a month for my Chevy (full coverage, newer truck, 15 over ticket and 2 accidents). Would be $50 extra for the Ranger which I might do next week. Reminds me I haven't gotten a bill for a month.

Older vehicle, minimum coverage (anything more is a waste since I won't report any damage to either vehicle anyway), on an 7 line policy since we have all 4 vehicles, the house, and two life insurance policies on it.

It will go up next month because we are dropping coverage on the S-10 Tuesday.

Yep out is out, if it makes you feel any better I moved to charlotte and hadn't been here 24hrs and got pulled for dead registration. NC has a 30 day lenience but I had totally forgotten about it during the movin, plannin phase so it was a few months out. Luckily the cop laughed, said welcome to charlotte and gave me a warning. I got it renewed the next day lol.
