Teal has a very good point in both his posts, as much as I enjoy reading Steve's posts....I can't understand how he does it. |
Jegzus,
Maybe you can explain what you think Steve should be doing different since you can't understand how he does it. Seems from what I'm reading he runs full days, takes his required time off, takes 34 hour restarts, breaks about dinner time and hits the road after his required time off which seems to be about 2-3 AM. Sounds like he posts his truck in advance of his delivery and of looks for the best paying load. Granted he uses load boards but seems to do well with them. He's establishing contacts on both coasts. Leaving rates out, what could he do different? I'm a local (WI) driver also so I guess I can't speak from experience. Just wondering? |

You guys are too hard on poor Steve. His accounts of his daily routine, dealing with brokers, etc. are dead on. There is nothing wrong with chasing a dream and finding adventure where others just consider it a job. It is a little misleading, however, to newbies who think this is the norm.
I think there should be a new forum topic added to the index. The "Adventure Seeking Hobby Truckers Forum". Steve can be the moderator. How 'bout it? (No offense, Steve!) |
I don't condone or think everything Steve has done has been perfect, or business oriented, but being as a one man operation, He's putting money in the bank and the bills being paid. He's making money period. The one thing I have learned from his and others (other drivers) postings else where is running a truck like he has works, if he stays as a single truck operation. If he adds trucks to his fleet, then he would be set up to fail, no questions about it. In reality he probley never will. Now, if it was me, I wouldn't run it this way, but thats me. But the main thing is he is making money, and the bills are getting paid, and the truck is taken care of.
As for the others, Keep on attacking people, your just making your selves look stupid. All you do is complain about this or that, but you don't offer any solutions to help the man. Either help the guy; or get laid, or leave and hang out with the other billy big riggers or something. We just sick of seeing this. |
