That doesn't really seem like a "con" to me. That's just being nice and personable.

Yeah the backing is what I think I will need the most practice on. Thanks for the help!

Ive never driven anything bigger than a cargo van, so I would feel better practicing. A chauffers to drive a big rig, huh? Man that's crazy. I have a chauffers and I wouldn't be comfortable with me on the road, behind the wheel of one of those monsters.

Ok. Good information for me to know. Thanks.

I see. I was more referring to straight trucks. Is there buying and selling loads in that area too?

...and what exactly is the Bolt/Panther line of thought?

That's how I took it.

Thanks for the replies. Once I get to rolling one of these days I don't think ill be partaking in that. Seems kind of shady to me.

I see. Seems like that would piss fellow drivers off. Is this a usual kind of thing?

What do you mean "run a con"?

I should be good on that. I haven't looked yet, but my mvr should be clean.

That's what im going to have to do. I wish I knew someone, but I don't, so Penske it is. Im assuming if I go through a truck school to get it, they will have a class B vehicle. Ill have to look into it. I guess im going to have to drive the hell out of a rental truck, then hope for the best on...

Ok, thanks for the info guys. Im probably just going to go to a truck school that supplies the truck for you. I don't know anyone with a class B truck, so I guess I don't really have any other choice.

Hey guys, total noob here. Ive been reading through the forum for the last few weeks and im learning a lot, but I have a question that I haven't come across in my researching. Ok, kind of embarrassing, but I cant drive a stick. Well, I have a few times in a car, but im defiantly not comfortable...

Ok thanks turtle. Im just researching for now, but after August of this year im going to start getting serious about this type of work. Im sure ill have plenty more questions later on.

So Chicago and Charlotte have heavy freight traffic, so be patient because one will come your way. Belgrade doesn't have much action, so don't spend too much time there is what your saying? How do you know what the good areas and bad areas are? Do you just have to learn through expierence?

Im curious about this as well. Bump.

I can tell you that a courier service in my area ( southern Indiana ) charges 90 bucks for a local delivery. And that's just for a small item that someone could take in the back of a pickup, or even a car. So I don't understand why you guys think 100 bucks to haul a skid is over priced. Seems...

Are you saying it was more difficult for you to back a straight truck vs. a semi?
