I wouldn't say you win by default. I'd say it's down to yourself and BC, I'm removing myself from the race. I'm getting out of the game completely, this is going to be my last trip. I've got over 7 years in it and I don't enjoy it anymore. I used to love it, and fiend for it...now I can't stand it anymore and dread everyday I get outta bed. I figured switching companies (when I went to Graebel) might help things out, but they didnt. So as of now, I'm officially out of the BRR, and my truck has been placed for sale.
Good Luck Guys,
Jason |

Thanks.
I'm sure that's net, Brian....if it matters, (and I can submit copies of my settlement sheet to Rawlco) I did $45k GROSS last month from May 25th to June 21st. |

Thats just whats been paid. My fuel, labor (cash advances) and truck expenses have already been deducted from that, so my revenue is actually well over 30K, its hard to keep track with how busy I've been. |

Wow! Actually sounds kind of sad :sad: What to think? Is it the bedbugging itself or is it just you, your personal need for a change? Can you at least say it was time well spent or at least you have a really big penny jar all filled to the top? Has this at least positioned you to launch out as, what, a stocks day trader or a lawn mowing service, maybe a missionary to Africa or,...or... |

I'm guessing some significant event happened and it was bad.
Best of luck!!! |

No significant event happened..what I can say Is I have always been a firm believer in "when a job becomes a job, and you no lojnger enjoy it....it's time to move on and find something else". And, that's exactly what happened here. I am 100% debt free and have any/all toys that I could possibly want, so it was worth it in that sense. As far as what I am going to do? I'm going back to school....I'm going to do some local contractor stuff for a United agent in my town, should still be able to knock down ~$1k a week net give or take....not a bad way to make a buck while furthering my education.
Thanks,
Jason |

I could understand that!
I've always said, it's not all about the money, you got to be comfortable, of what you doing, and your lifestile.
For very same reasons, i do, what i do, though i have an opportunity, almost double my income!
I wish you the best of luck! 8) |

| I'm looking into HHG field for driving job. Found a HHG company that says they are a "self hauler". Can anyone tell me what that means? Also, any tips on what to look for or avoid in a HHG company when job shopping? Thanks! |

| Self-hauler means they haul all the jobs (or a majoprity) of the ones they book. That means they take care of the driver a little better :lol: |
