Since there are fewer and fewer O/Os, with each passing year, the knowledge base is vanishing fast.

That might not be such a problem, if you're a company driver, with or without some interest in the truck you are currently driving.

The problem is in the very high cost to new entrants, in having to re-invent the wheel.
This is aggravated by rookies telling the pro's how to make good money, running cheap.

Rookies will learn, one way or the other...
If they reject the sage insight offered by the pro, the pro will become more selective in the wisdom they share.

Sharp pencils and fast spreadsheets are no match for a good head for business.

You have undertaken a long and desperate struggle!!

It is always easier and less costly to learn from others experience than on your own. Some people would rather learn the hard way. :?

The hard way? Not me. Thats the reason why I have been on here since 2006. I read everything, even though some post does not even intrest me. We all know how some threads starts out with one thing and ends up with a diffrent topic. So again, I would like to thank all of the VETS of CAD. Thank you.

There may be fewer and fewer O/Os, but sites like this one are helping newbs like myself figure things out. I wouldn't know where to start if I hadn't seen this site. You guys (and gals) are a wealth of info.

I'm not familiar with this phenomena. This isn't just an attack on the belief that- if we favor price competition when we are making our purchases, then we ought to be willing to accept price competition when we are the supplier- is it?

Really, is anyone anywhere talking about how to make "good money" running cheaply? That's an honest question?

No silly, we all get $4.00 per mile, didn't you know that!!!

Some people do, at least some of the time :wink:

Still slacking off there McLazy?

Actually yes. The new gf and me called it quits already, so I went downtown with 2 girls last night until 6am. I'm probably gonna be a father by the time I get back on the road :x :lol: :lol: :lol:

And I got the digital camera working...pics to come...
