Your right after crunching numbers I'd make about the same as I do now . But still no dock work which is a plus . Your meals are reimbursed on your taxes $32 a day or more if you keep receipt's (per diem) any hotel is better than a sleeper berth, IMO and when you have an hour drive time back and forth to your SC like I do plus have a 520+ mile linehaul run it leaves me working 13-15 hrs a day, by the time I get showered ,eat ,lift and get ready for work and with the wife and kids always running around to sports games,cheerleading, play dates and doctors appt's I barely see the family 2 days during the week anyhow. plus the wife has a lighter load to bare with me not there she's not making meals,packing my lunch and listening to my grumpy ass when I'm tired. For me it would still be a go.
Agree for some it will work and some will like it, but I lived on the road and for me and many others we don't want that.
You are figuring this on what you run now 520+ miles you are not guaranteed you will get 520+ mile a night or the 2600+ you are getting now. Were is it written that there would be no dock work? You could run 200 mile and work the dock until they put you in a hotel because more senior drivers came in and were dispatched first.
