I'm still considering my options, while I drive a TT rig for a local/regional outfit. One thing that weighs heavily on my mind is the fact that I won't run team (I'm already married, thanks) until my wife is ready to retire from her current career. Also, I get real grumbly when I drive through...

Jokes aside, seems like the CSA stuff may drive a bit of business in the direction of sub-CDL trucks... but I can't claim to know for sure. Also, if the rule disqualifies drivers by the thousands, it seems as though they're gonna have to go *somewhere*.

I just recently tried something like that, and used my Chevy Trailblazer. Part time, I was doing nearly what you're aiming for, after gas. Unfortunately, it was just barely enough to cover all my other expenses, including car payments, insurance, and most expensive... my daughter's daycare bill...
