Welcome to our Li'l online community ,i hope you find it to be your next home.

the second is that ,regardless if you own the truck, or driving an owner truck ,expedite is business first ,and many 'company drivers' simply are not prepared well enough to run their own business ,so the truck cost too mach ,and hardly making enough.
