That's exactly right. It's the net that counts, not the gross! Please get that through your heads all you HSP's, MSO's and Primes that pay these ridiculous rates. $500.00 a week net is so far beyond a joke it's not even funny. A self employed contractor should have a realistic opportunity to make $500.00 a DAY net, not net $500 in a 6 day week. This isn't the 60's anymore!!!!
