You should have driven for him. When should you stop putting money into a truck ? When someone says "Do you want to buy a used M-2."

You actually could. They're usually big. Heavy. Costly. And diesel.

Backup Driver. Look in your Greek section.

Damn. I had heard you were a backup escort, driver.

Hey. Go back to Checker in Detroit for a year. Then write a book. I imagine you'd have plenty of stories.

I understand why fleet owners do not want employees. That does not change the fact that I believe most drivers in this industry ARE employees. As long as you can get away with it, have at it. My opinion doesn't matter.

The burger flipper will usually get paid. Regardless of number of burgers flipped. No zero paydays. You should have gone to the John Clark School of Successful Taxi Driving instead of going to see the movie TAXI DRIVER

Bingo ! Now it becomes NOT JUST A JOB, ITS A BUSINESS also I believe you move from employee to a true I/C

When an owner hires a stone cold rookie he ought to understand what he's getting. How often does the rookie fully understand what he's getting into ?

The newbie would be ahead if he got a prevailing wage from day one. A good guarantee that he really didn't cover. I once had an owner told me he had a team whose purpose to go into a truck was more to have a place to live than to work. Other than Unicorn Cartidge, have you seen many owners up...

Yeah, he's cool. And can take a joke.

John, sadly EO has deteriorated some over the last few years. There's actually a thread running by Bruno, Where's Everybody At, or similar, that discusses this issue. What you're talking about may be able to help re-energize the EO brand. The talent is here. There's lots of good recently...

When you buy a real truck it's called an APU.

Probably time to start asking when is the fsc going up ?

I thought someone asked if you checked the oil level after your swim but before it blew. I don't remember you answering..... It's a Moot point now.

That is not like John at all. At least not back last year when I had a truck. Any chance he was busy at the time and the girl thought you needed answers before he'd be available ?

Hey, as a lady of the night once told me, two John's are better than one.

Geo, I don't argue that you made money in the past. Just stating you wouldn't get out of bed for under $1.75 per mile confuses newbies. I imagine if you took all your Ceva Income devided by all your miles it may be a shocking figure. It's not good to throw out good numbers unless you're...

John,Agreed. We need someone with time, knowledge, and contacts to bring it all together. Also, could a handicap system be put together to rank the top 50 or 100 carriers ? A rookie shouldn't have to look at too many options.

I totally agree with you. You can't talk regulation because you thrive in a lack of regulation. The problem with your thoughts is if someone legit doesn't get it going, soon, someone with the wrong intentions may start a for profit mentoring program that will only benefit the wrong people.
