So before you guys talk about Charged not knowing what he is doing know his operating cost and remember you guys were in his shoes at one time and did you get bashed for asking questions that any new owner operator would ask?

They do that to everyone. It makes them feel superior thinking they are some shrewd business men. Come on guys, your freaking truck drivers. Your not even in the same class as a Quickie Mart store owner. It pisses lots of people off when someone new comes in with no experience and just starts doing it. It's easy and you don't have to be a rocket scientist. Everyone has different bills and either you make enough to pay them and live at $1.30 per mile or need $2.30 per mile. I can guess about at least one person on here who has the following bills which I don't. I'm guessing on the figures. Truck Payment $300 Family health insurance $100 more then mine Child support $250 Now that right there is $650 more PER WEEK then I have to pay What makes some people unhappy about a new person is their situation is much easier then theirs. Well yes, it sucks to be you but that's not my problem!

Well yes, it sucks to be you but that's not my problem! But many are former/current company drivers who do not have one iota of basic business skills. Its not their fault, but if they are willing to take the time and effort to listen and learn from others who have been down the road and have already made the mistakes, they will be so much more ahead of the curve. But.... we have those here who believe that they know everything and only want to hear what they want to hear. An excellent example is the GMAN trying to help Mr. Booth debacle....... Mr. Booth, for those who do not know or remember was fortunate enough to pay cash for his equipment and year worth of insurance starting out. He states that he has no personal bills of significance, while many who are starting out have families to support and do not have the fair amount of cash on hand as Mr. Booth did. That is a great advantage. Those that have an open mind, who are willing to listen and learn, and willing to help themselves first will find a vast amount knowledge available for the asking. Those that don't want to listen, or want others to do the work for them, I hope those individuals fail and lose everything. One more thing...... Mr. Booth.... your YTD paystub showing your 104k is not that impressive..... I had an average of 10 to 12 car salesman who made more than that when I ran dealerships as General Manager. I won't get into what I was paid with you, but it is safe to say that it was a wee bit higher....... :wink:

Why do you got to talk bad about GMAN? I got more respect for GMAN than I do for you! GMAN gives it straight forward but he isn't a jackass or bashes people like you do!
