I would suggest you take an hour or two and read through the archives in both this and the General forum. I am sure you will find out what you are looking for.

Even so Dayton to Toledo to Pell City Ohio does not add up to 800+ miles.

I met one team that received 45% of the gross and the owner paid for all road expenses,fuel tolls etc. The lead driver received 25% and the co driver 20%. In addition the owner bought them one reasonable meal a day plus 2 reasonable motel rooms every week. They were quite satisfied with this...

Small thing but I carry about 35 Supermarket shopping cards for all of the chains plus independents. If I see one that I don't have I get a new one from them. I estimate that I save about $250-300 a year using them.
