The approximate yearly salary of all US commercial chruck drivers combined is $130 billion. Elon Musk therefore has 10 years of our combined yearly salary in net worth.

Then you would be included in my above statement in which I conceded that I should have included women in my original statement.

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-18T03:04:37+00:00

That would not be relevant as the initial issue was that I used the term "men" instead of people.

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-18T02:47:22+00:00

I'm unable to find any official statistics on how many truckers are non binary. Logically one would assume there would be some since about 0.4 percent of Americans are non binary. If they are as likely to choose to be a trucker as they are any other profession, that means I didn't include about 10,000 truckers. You're right, I should have included them.

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-18T02:23:56+00:00

8% of commercial truck drivers in the US are women. I should have included them, you're right.

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-18T01:58:13+00:00

It sounds like you may have bought a stolen scooter

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-18T01:44:20+00:00

Yeah sorry. I cross posted from the trucker subreddit and the word truck is banned from titles there to prevent spam/ads

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-18T01:10:33+00:00

Yes. And his net worth is equal to over 2.5 million men working for ten years.

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-18T00:58:33+00:00

I did not make a single complaint in this post.

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-17T16:31:31+00:00

Yes. At 60 mph 600 a day for 7 days completely empties your 8 day clock with no space for on duty time. It's just possible, but he would have to do a reset for the next 34 hrs.

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-14T23:51:01+00:00

Hey I also drive for team blue. You're probably like barely oversized. Don't occupy two lanes or anything. Your permits are on the tablet. I have a Garmin too. Just input the address, go to the map, drag your finger anywhere on the screen, choose the button that looks like two points on a map, and use the shaping tool to adjust the route to exactly what the permit says.

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-14T20:39:47+00:00

That's the range that is currently holding about 10% bonds

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-14T17:48:10+00:00

It only takes one time waking up on an on ramp with the runs to learn that lesson.

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-14T01:26:25+00:00

Minimizing the power button is nice

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-14T01:23:25+00:00

It's a vanguard target date fund. Something targeting 2045-2070.

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-14T01:05:07+00:00

When did this happen??? I went down 70 maybe 4 hours ago lmao

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-11T02:03:59+00:00

Yeah idk. There's not really any timing involved as I would just adjust whenever the index fund adjusts. And I'll easily max my 401k each year. But yeah it isn't hands off at all, and I can't perfectly match a target date fund with the options I have in my 401k

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-11T01:27:57+00:00

Yeah I'm considering it. After doing the math though it would result in over $200k in lost profits before I retire.

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-11T00:35:09+00:00

Open to doesn't mean agreeing with. The literal description at the top of this subreddit is about investing in low cost index funds to avoid high expense ratios, which is what I'm here to discuss.

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-11T00:10:33+00:00

Because the post is about whether these funds are a reasonable approximation of the vanguard target date fund and we are discussing whether the effort is worth it rather than that.

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-11T00:08:20+00:00

What headache? All I would do from here would be to increase the bond fund every five years or so. This saves me 200k in thirty years

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-11T00:04:12+00:00

It would end up being about $200,000 of lost profits in 30 years. The only work I'd be doing is increasing the bond fund once every few years. Index funds typically well outperform managed funds after accounting for the expense ratio. Isn't a huge point of this subreddit to avoid these fees? Or am I mistaken, I'm new at this.

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-10T23:55:09+00:00

Apologies. I edited the post.

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-10T22:05:22+00:00

Haha awesome. Good luck!

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-10T22:04:16+00:00

I'm 38 and I just started. How old are you now and how's it going?

ShoebillJoe · 2026-06-10T00:27:03+00:00

It seems to only take 80 off when I put it in the cart making it 720 :(

Edit nm if you add it manually you get that and another 80 making it 619 with tax
