Yes it's not the real world,but it can teach you about routing and rates,and which areas you need to position yourself in to get good rates.

There are a bunch of CAD members on the site now and we are talking about setting up our own company sometime in the future.

give it a try www.trukz.com

With paying for everything, (like fuel, repairs, a new truck) getting random mechanical breakdowns, etc... it's cool pretending to be an O/O without the risk.

Also, if anyone joins, let us know so we can put you in our driver's list. :wink:

mike3fan: Didn't you already start that trip to AK? If so, how did you cancel it? You must not have logged any miles on it.

That would be cool to start our own company.

Yeah I was "resting" overnight before I started,then I got my bonus and went to get my truck before starting,after you said I probably wouldn't make it I figured it out and you were right by 10hrs.,then when I got back to Corpus Cristi all the tire loads were gone from there,so now headed to Panama City to get a tire load from there.

A veteran with my company warned all the new drivers with the slower trucks not to try those long ones. Glad it worked out for you! If I ever get to Yellowknife, (~2,265mi to go) I may change companies.
