I have also been on here reading and learning for the past year. I had my hopes on attending the Expo and meeting a lot of people in the business, not just the owners and people running the carriers, but the drivers and checking out their units in the parking lot. I really thought I could get...

I have a membership with Planet Fitness that costs me $20 a month. When I rode with my buddy for those few months, I saw a gym at just about every drop point. I figured I can just keep my membership and grab a workout or at least a shower if I have the time. Just a thought if someone is...

Good morning Bobonic. I have been up all night, but getting ready to try to lay down now. I am not about to tell you how to think or give any advice about this line of work, especially with all the experience you have. I will say I have been on here reading for the last four or so months and...

Sorry folks, been getting last minute workups before the operation on the 29th. I guess you could look at some responses as being negative, but you can also turn anything around to be negative if you choose to do so. With what I have been through the past three years, I am tired of looking at...

We just donated. Could not afford the $150, but we did send what we could. I rode with a MC that was made up of first responders and a lot of them are Vets, so I am emailing them this link. I know quite a few of them will also donate. Very nice and rewarding story. It's a shame that...

My ticket from Florida to Toledo is already bought and I'm still in Mass. I land at 9:50 Friday morning and heading there. I hope to meet as many of you on here as possible. Again, not doing anything but researching and listening to everything that is being said on here. I will jump in with...

My wife has had been doing psychiatric transcriptions for the past 8 yrs. I was let go from my job after being involved in an accident that completely destroyed my hip. I was not able to walk or barely stand, let alone work, and could not get short-term disability until I had my hip fixed. If...

Okay, your set-up looks awesome. I kinda knew that it was 10,000 lb, but was sort of wishful thinking about the 16 feet!!! I already bought a mechanism kit like they use in a Murphy bed system, and you just build your sleeper to your specs, and these pieces allow to fold up nicely, and have a...

Thanks Rocketman. I have not thought about a cube van because I felt that the gas mileage would not be that good. I spent the evening looking at used trucks, but most did not have a walkthrough, so I feel it would be almost impossible to build somewhat of a sleeper. I did see some 16 footers...

You guys have not lost or scared me away yet. I am what you call "lurking" right now, but I did just buy my plane ticket from Florida to Toledo for the Expo today. I get what everyone is saying on here about driving straight trucks and partnering up to make the better money. I also get that...

Thanks again Zorry, makes sense all the way around. I will also go to the sites you mentioned Ebsprintin. Like you both have said, I have noting but time right now to investigate as much as possible. I talk to my buddy who has been in the business for more than 10 years, but it's good to get...

Thanks Zorry I looked at some of the classifieds for drivers and seen some for sprinters that I thought would be good. The only thing that worried me about that was some of the other things I have read about why drive for someone else when you can be making the money. I like the idea of...

After running out on the road for about a month with a buddy in a cargo van, I really feel this job would work out great for me. I have been on here for the past 3 months reading what people have been saying about all the different aspects to this job. I have gone to other forums as well, but...
