It's never too late and your never too old to dream. But this dream has turned into a nightmare with the cost of fuel. It's cost as much to fill up as it does to make a mortgage payment. You might be better off going back to school bus driving ( I drove school bus's for 6 years)and enjoy being...

Making $1000.00 a piece a week as a team ($500.00 a piece) is what you can expect,(it used to be different). After fuel and expences on the truck, most owners have little or nothing to share. Don't ever agree to buy or share fuel costs. It's the owners credit card or nothing. Demand your...

Nothin from nothin is nothin.Thats about what you can expect.

Save your time and money and get a real job.The good days of this business are in the past.The romance of the road is for dreamers.If your a dreamer,take the plunge and you will get all the dreams you hoped for,but not much money.

My drivers gross over $200,000.00,if they wish too. They work 9 months a year,but when they run,they really run. I have teams that work the same amount of time and gross $150,000.00 It's your choice.The freight is there.Motivation is a personel matter. Ofcourse,these are in White Glove...

I'm with you on this one Leo.In fact,it is the law in San Francisco,as well as other cities in California. I have been refeered to as a "smoking Nazi"on this forum for even thinking about bringing up smokeing.As you said,not all,but many smokers just don't get it.Should they have the same...

Bragging again........... I handled the international moving needs of(at 1 time)the largest mining company in OZ(as the locals refer to it)BHP Minerals(now defunct) I travled to OZ every year for 15 years.Saw the ENTIRE country(Perth is my favorite,followed by Port Douglas,on the great Barrier...

I went to Europe for 3 weeks in September and turned control of my 5 trucks over to one of my old buddies who is on the road with Willie(the singer with long hair)He did a fine job.In fact,the trucks made more money while I was gone then when I'm home!!Planning another trip this summer!!Plus,the...

I currently own 5 White Glove trucks,(reefer's,tags,lift gates,big sleepers etc.)These are very expensive units,and require much research on various purchase options and performance specs. If your not going into a unit like this,and will not need all the extras,listen to the various opinions on...

Hi Roger, I live in San Mateo,and have been an owner for 6 years.I have 5 trucks that run for FEDEX CC W/G. I see my trucks a couple of times a year,thats about it.I have truck divers that have worked for me for 1 year who I have never met. If you want to run solo around the west,you can make a...

Excellent post.The transiiton,as noted,from big rig to expedite is a new world.Alot of rumors around the truck stops about the big bucks in expediting.A lot of misinformation from ill informed sources. Our business is no different then any other:20% of the people make the money,80% make...

Not sure what the California thing is about,as this contract was wriiten by a transportaton attorney in St Louis,where UNIGROUP is headquarted,closer to you then me.It's not used by every United/Mayflower agent,as it is up to each agent to uitilize their own contract.This one happens to be the...

My new word for the day is Humdulah.I like it.

No one is advising me to operate without a contract. That is a personal choice.But,if I choose to utilize a contract,it will be the one I described,which meet's the letter of the law. There is only one reason,in this little business of mine,to go to a contract,and it would to meet IRS...

I would suggest to you that the IRS is not California based. However,we are burdened with more red ink then most States as a result of being in the top 20 largest GNP's in the World.A little different then your State. IRS dictates that independant contractors(drivers,non employee status) much...

In 6 years,I'm proud to say, never had 1 Democrat drive for me. I'm still touch with each and everyone of them,and they will all be family until I'm six feet under.

My experience with this go's to the van line business. To be true to the letter of the IRS version of what constitutes an independant contractor,it's about 120 pages. I have one,and if I were to do a contract with drivers,it would be this one.Otherwise,a contract is not worth the paper it's...

I pay for all damage.
