U don't c a lot of 20 somethings out here to take our place. It's not there. The drivers coming up want to have a life. Very difficult when ur on call & u never know where u r going to be tomorrow. I'm fine w/ that. I like the freedom. That's what I signed up for. I wouldn't do another job.

These companies complain about having or keeping quality drivers, but do nothing about it. Look at this industry. The quality driver is a dying breed. My boss recognizes this. That's y I'm loyal to him.

Companies r not concerned about me. And I don't expect them to be. I'll say one thing, working for a small mom&pop, seemed to work a lot better for me. I haven't given up yet. I believe in loyalty. Just wish it was a two way street.

The boss is one of the best I've EVER worked for. That's what keeps me from going independent. About done working for companies. Tired of waiting for a call. Independent, if I'm not loaded, my fault.

So true! U answer to yourself.

I would do it the same if I owned my own van. In fact, the way it's going right now. May get my own van sooner than later. Have my rainy day saved. It's sprinkling.

W/ an owner, I start out @ 0 every week. The boss starts in the negative. My boss is my expensive leasing agent.

Only been expediting since October1999. Been w/ Custom Critical since 4/07 same owner. Win 4-star every year since I've been w / them. Made more money back in the day. Still make money.

That was to the truck. Paid $261.8 (that's 85cpm boss gets 40% of this) fsc57.75 (100%mine) 37.65dh (100% mine) gross to me $247.24 $149.50 expenses( tolls fuel) net $97.74

U can believe what u want. I've seen those guys that say no dh over 50mi. It has to pay @ least 95cpm. It's gotta take me to a good place. No weekends. And so on. Been taking everything (almost) for 3+ years. Still here.

He's been out of the game a while. He could add more vans @ any time. After expenses last year I made $36k.

W/ current fuel prices. 33cpm.

Not true. I don't have a truck payment, insurance, Qualcomm, maintenance. My truck has consistently grossed $70k the last three years. I'm making money. I don't get 500+miles. I showed you my last run.

I hear that. But u can't tell me that if u put more & more restrictions on what u will take, pretty soon nothing looks profitable.

The problem is these companies have made it about the miles. We were percentage. Those were the days. Like I told my boss, what's the point in getting $1.25+/mi, if u don't get any miles.

Appreciate it. Done both. Some companies won't load vans unless u have a bulkhead. Fine by me.

The drivers that go thru the revolving door @ our shop say the same thing on their way from returning the van. My boss took everything. He didn't worry about profit. He never has to drive again. He has 30+ vans.

This is what happens when u sit for two days.

I'm not trying to peev anyone off. We are all in the same boat out here.

This is an information site. They asked everyone. I answered. U can listen to it or not. That's what I tell the rookies, if more than one driver says it, consider it gospel.
