well the first post in this thread

is the exact reason i always drove for a company

every time i put the facts on what the cost

of owning my own truck on paper it was a paycut

so heck with that let the company have those issues

but hey that is just me

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence! People don't relize the effort it takes to be sucessfull in any field!

It's a little bit tougher now adj with the price of fuel the way it is. And it won't get any better, but if you run your butt off and do at LEAST 3000 miles a week then you can make it. But you have to want more then one truck though. My goal is to someday be bigger then JB Hunt. It may happen, but it may not. All I know is that as long as I try I have not failed

Sure they Grossed $250,ooo a yr. after expences ppfftt!


Have you guys seen the news about the wreck on the 5 fwy in Santa Clarita?
It was in the tunnel for the truck by pass friday night.

about 12 years ago just about gave my son my truck 80 plus hours a week om the road after all expenses could not afford a motel when I had a break slept in the truck. average take home was like 7.50 an hour if I remember right. at that time had a wife who was getting wery bad off health wise, signed up for social security and stayed at home to take care of her.
