I know it's just killing SOME people in here that I find it easy and fun. I found most all the information I needed to get started in here and a lot of help from GMAN.
I'm sure I haven't witnessed the worst but I know I have more experience now than some new person driving with a trainer for 3 weeks who does nothing but deliver groceries in Nebraska backing into food warehouses the size of the White House. Does that make them qualified after 3 weeks.
When I graduated college I knew nothing but the talent to learn.
When I graduated CDL school I knew nothing but the talent to learn.
I'm careful, cautious, afraid and not scared to ask for help when I need it.
I don't give advise in this forum but plan to some day.
I've posted nothing but the truth and being very up front with the loads I'm getting and the cost per mile.
It's only a matter of time before you throw another hissy fit and delete all your posts from this thread as well, just like the last one. So much for being "up front". :roll:
I know when I was reading this forum before I got my CDL this was a HUGE secret for some reason and they ones who did post what they were getting, well.....

what a egotistical comment but coming from you it's not surprising. You haven't experienced anything yet-after a few years let us know. Plus you've never pulled a reefer and don't have a clue what is involved yet you know all about that too right?

For now, I'll keep driving, having fun and posting my experiences at least until I find them not interesting.

Well, it's time for bed off to the side next to the Colorado River then up the mountain to Aspen tomorrow. A ballzy statement from someone who does not know their azz from a papersack. I find this " I want to be a Twuck Dwiver " experiment entertaining. Does Stevie Big Rigger really know what his P&L really is ?????? :roll: :roll:

Everyone you see creeping through these forums seems like they're making so much money is ridicuolous, I couldnt find maybe just a couple of post where people made reasonble amount of money for this buisiness.
I know of 4 different companies who are claiming that rates had fallen down a bunch, broker firm that am leased to here in Chicago is confirming the same so I might be out of line, crazy or whatever if i think that about 98% of bullshit thats spilled here is exacly that. People who are claiming that they are haulin 2.50 freight in and out all day long are i think just plain telling untruth. same goes regarding this cheap freight disscution that been floating around here, everyone is deadheading and refusing but theres so much of it out there that it makes you think twice of even reading through some of these posts here and there.... If you haul 2.50-3.00 freight right NOW what did you haul couple of years ago, 5.00$ maybe and if you're doing so well what the hell are you doing driving a truck 20-30 years straight, you should have at least a million stacked up in the bank and enjoying your life.... please, just like a CB, turn it off !
