Great question, and I enjoy your question froggy maybee this might help and I hope I am corrected if I am wrong but probably around $400.00 how many per week? I would want no less than three some weeks three $800 loads others two @ 300.00 its all in a total month not day to day or week to week.

For those of you considering this as a way to make a living, in a B unit (Van) look around there are alot you out there and I always see more sitting in the truck stops than I do running down the highway. And those are just the ones at the truck stops, not including in the driveway or hidding...

Not to critize Panther but wow thats the second time this has come up. I find that very troubling to do something like that. Second find a small company that cares about their own success as much as yours. (Landstar seemed to be the only giant I have seen with that attitude) actually they...

Read the post that indicates 5,000.00 for one run? Yes it is possible for a team but rare very rare about as rare as getting a run from Miami to Anchorage but it could happen. This is just misleading to a Newbee comming in that maybee every so often I could depend on a load like this. Do...

I left the house last Tuesday I have just driven 2,700 miles since than. 450 miles dh back home from Daytona. That was 450 miles I would have rather had freight on but that was my decision to eat the fuel $122.96. Now thats the kinda decision YOU will have to make can you afford this every...

Ricky I was just at Fort Wayne KW they had one brand new one and one used what year the used one was I do not know ask for Mike Moss and tell him Kraig sent you.

Leo I know you put a Deposite and your an exception I know you and would trust you to follow through in a commitment. There are though many that change there minds and leave the deposite or ask for it back. A T-300 Expediter truck is an easy sell but I still had to put down $5,000 to get...

This is not meant to be a smart remark COMMON SENSE

Way more than $600. $400.00 a week is just barley above POVERTY LEVEL. Hope you set your goals higher than that, if you walked into my company with that goal I am confident you would be shown the door. Not nearly goal minded enough or hungry set your sites looking at the sky not your shoe...

OPTIONS, take that A CDL sign on with a Tractor Trailer Co. get your expierence and now you have many more options down the road plus you can talk to us (CB) while getting that Expierence. Straight trucks arent gona give you that expierence that many carriers will insist you have. You have...

I find this industry extremley limited. Posting on this many times what makes a great business a great business? In my expierence OPTIONS you have no further options in buying a Dulley, you can haul horses, pigs, cows. Steel for Hot Shots or RVs thats about it. So if things get soft all you...

I remember the excitement I felt last year prior to buying my truck and reading so many great posts. Than it happened GIANT dissipointments followed by more and more until finially I was so depressed and mad at myself for ever getting into this. Had to come up with a plan, but thats getting...

Lets say you get to a location and you have to hand unload it the customer would be charged for your time and you will get 62% of that. Back hauls are a dream come true, one I have not yet had happen yet. You take a load from Detroit to Atlanta, get to the location on time and they refuse the...

No need to limit your search to just the local area. I live 600 miles from my carrier, have a phone, fuel, and a dependable vehicle you will not have a problem with any carrier due to location.

I have a question for the Poster. You can acutally survive on $400.00 a week? Have you ever considered how your going to live when you say oh after your 68th Birthday? What about Health Insurance do you have any from a wife or another source X-employment I hope so. Seems like a very low $...

East Coast - West Coast a 5-6% downgrade is still 5-6% on either Coast, look at Fancy Gap, Black Mtn. I have driven around the U.S. 4 times now and it must all be taken with the same caution. All of the Posts are correct on the braking methods, I choose even with a installed Jake to pump at...

Fort Wayne Truck Center (Palmer Dealer) Leo has stated to me in the past he had a bad expierence with these people responding to him. I had a great expierence and got a great education as well. What Leo did is very very rare and if you look at what a dealer has to go through to build a truck...

Being that we are all business owners have you taken the time to readjust or just make new goals for this year? Last year was absolutly a great year for comming out of the blocks, I need to thank anyone who helped me along in my journey especially Terry, LBD, Dave C, Tennessee Hawk, Dreamer...

The soot is probably a clogging or clogged injector. Last year I complained on this site as to why everytime the truck sat for more than a day and I fired it up my roof and box were covered in specs of soot. Finially the truck started running very rough, took it in and they did another...

Correct me if I am wrong, but I have been DOT'd 3 times now for log books. I have never put down Post Trip Inspection unless the next day I was going to only flag it and not show a 15 minute for a Pre-Trip. Also I will combign the Post Trip with a Fuel and still only show 15 minutes. My...
