Why is everyone so quick to attack? I think she makes some great points.

Is the college degree something that will help you run the business? How much experience do you have in the industry from the non-driving side?

I've never heard someone from NY use cheers before as a closing.

Run team with her and it will help produce extra income especially at a company like Panther that limits the amount of time a solo van driver can drive. It's nice to be able to take a nap while the van is still moving too.

The industry has changed a lot in the last several years so I would pretty much dismiss any influence that conversation had and look at the industry with the brew info found here. It's not an easy lifestyle for someone with kids at home but it sounds like you are pretty well setup being debt...

The hot shot segment is tough because you are still under the same regulations as a semi but you have more competition. You will NOT want to be dealing with a broker when you get started but instead sign on with an established company.

Re: Forget I bothered I'm talking about manual labor jobs, where the job itself is hard work. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Re: Forget I bothered I see a lot of the skills overlap but I'm not saying that they are exactly the same. If a server didn't want to be a server anymore their skills won't translate to many other jobs so I was just comparing it to one that they would qualify for based on the skill set. Not...

Re: Forget I bothered There are a lot of people that aren't fiscally responsible in the transportation industry. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Re: Forget I bothered I completely agree that the job could be demanding at times and I know from when I worked customer service that people can be jerks. My point is to simply compare the money vs work load, if the money doesn't work for you then simply move on to another job. If you look at...

Re: Forget I bothered I was parked next to a guy that could only afford to put $40 of fuel in his TT until he could get his next dispatch. I'm not sure if it was bad luck or stupidity that had him in that position but there are some really broke people out on the road. Some of the guys that...

Re: Forget I bothered You were hoping to hear everyone agree you and it became clear when you took specific words people used and changed them into different words that fit what you wanted. Then the post that was completely irrelevant and pointless that you were all excited about rather than...

Re: Forget I bothered That's where you seem to be confusing what I am saying. I know that servers work hard and have a frustrating job but that doesn't make it hard work. Any job is going to have its frustrations and downsides but you just need to look at whether or not it's worth it. Even if...

Re: Forget I bothered All the servers that I have known have always done well and when you look at the job requirements, skills, and demands the pay was great. I'm wondering if the same could be said for the people working in the kitchen. I've only known 2 people that worked in the kitchen and...

Re: Forget I bothered It doesn't change the fact that it isn't hard work and I never claimed driving was some physically demanding job. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Re: Forget I bothered That's another job frustration, not really hard work. The most frustrating part I would say is dealing with BS trucker stories. You can get a few feet away and the smell wouldn't be much of an issue but the guy telling his BS story can usually be heard in the back of the...

Re: Forget I bothered What would you say makes being a server hard work? I can see where it would not be a fun job but I've never seen even the hardest working servers do any hard work. What other jobs have you done to compare the work load vs paycheck and decide you aren't making enough? What...

Re: Forget I bothered I wouldn't put any of those on a list of skills, that's just a general job description. I'm talking about skills that require at least a moderate amount of training. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Re: Forget I bothered I don't think anyone said servers are lazy or don't have a brain although I'm sure we have all met our fair share that fit that description. The job itself requires no education though, not even a high school diploma. That doesn't mean they are all dumb but it is just a...

They all deserve a decent wage? No they don't, they deserve what the market says they are worth. A hospital could be run by doctors alone, you would just have to hire more doctors and medical bills would cost more. The nurses are used as assistants to help with some of the tasks that don't...
