What have you been up to? Former expediters should post too

Only took 15 years before I hit the "real money" :p

Yup.. We plan to escape, but so far only 2 out of 4 kids are self sufficient. 1 decent paying run and 2 to 4 goof off jobs a week, home every night That's one thing that changed since you were here. Most jobs pay fairly well now

Better than dead run ;)

I never pulled the trigger on a larger truck so don't think I'm in any way talking down to you. Have you looked into stuff nobody else will haul? I've made as much as $10.81 a mile. I don't have any US contacts, but I have ideas. DM me if you want a few. They will at least be worth what you...

I had to drive thru it. Fortunately less than 400 miles this time of week for entire day Wasn't more than a foot of snow, but heavy moisture packed that still has 6 inches stuck to the bottom of my van making it drive like it's loaded. In the face of headwinds constant at 30 mph gusting to...

Shiny If I were to decide I could make money with one, it would be an ancient FL70 Don't ignore short runs. 5, $200 localish moves is still $1000....usually pay is higher on short runs also to compensate for the lack of miles I take all the $300, 150 mile runs I can get in the small van

What's the story, took a big truck driving job and kept the sprinter? I can't remember

I'm thinking my El Paso, where I stayed barely 8 hours before getting a full rate back to GM Oshawa near were I used to live wasn't typical. I actually WANTED to stay later (but took it) After the drive down, about an hour of looking around at the truck stop and trying to look at Mexico thru...

I got your answer in email, don't know why it isn't showing I wrote a long answer and decided it was too specific, here's the short version If that sounds high to you you just don't understand how small vehicles work. Just like I have absolutely no clue how to make it 1 month in a big truck...

Hamilton, On Unloading stuff that's expedite, but short haul 3 of us left :)

Forgot where i was $1000 cdn = $600 usd Although im home every night. You can't tell me everyone on this site hasn't had an expedite for $1000, usd or cdn We have one twice a week that pays $2350 cad - I'll let you do the conversion 2019 - 2022 I was delivering cigs. Paid $25 a box...

Well no, I don't work every day

I've seen this post as I wandered around many times but never answered (new year's imbibing made me do it) Because I like $1000 a day And non 1099 places limits on my income. Not that I have anything to do with Trump, but I sure enjoy negotiating like him For everybody else, if you don't get...

Hey RoadTime Happy New Year! Ragman too he'll see this Local route. Landed another after 7 years, I have no worries - watching my fellow drivers go from $9000 pays to zero was something. But I've seen it before Local. Ragman gets it

My advice? Don't work with brokers

You guys are all crazy I recently (2022) paid $9500 usd for an E250 and feel ripped off. 66 months of $1550 is not my idea of a good time

If you can afford the vehicle outright and afford to lose 100% of your investment, go for it Just be ready to make less than minimum wage after expenses, until you find a niche that pays (of course you already have the insurance sorted out right? If the "apps" don't cover you, totally possible...

Yes you should. Unfortunately it's never worked that way in trucking history...

There's going to be a real shortage of people answering that they suck balls I'm a contractor but I pay for my own insurance. Last run was 3.97 a mile usd - I don't really understand why people do the 1099 thing but it's probably because it's easy
