Message: [QUOTE="TrickTruck, post: 1475306, member: 6044"] I went to a parts dealer in Elkhart to see about all the other crap I was required to have by the Transport company. After chatting with the owner a bit I laid my cards on the table and asked his opinion. Bottom line, doing everything right, being really smart about it, you maybe clear $1k/week. Put some of that back to replace the truck when it's slap azz worn out in 2 years and guys are not making a lot of $$ doing this. If someone were retired and wanted to travel the country and get their bills paid half way it's not a bad option, but the owner of the parts place told me that most of the guys doing this are too dumb to do simple math. I was looking for a hole in my calculations, but there isn't one. The math simply doesn't work for drivers. They'll bust their hump, risking their lives, working 14hrs a day and see very little return for all their effort. On my way back to my wife's sister's house where I'd been staying, I passed Horizon, whipped it around and dropped off the tags and all their other stuff. The trainer was at the door and he was genuinely surprised when I handed him the stuff. All I told him was that this was not a good fit for me. Thank you for your time. I did learn some stuff about driving that I already applied on the 700 mile trip home, I think the 2 day class has already made me a better driver...and I thought I was pretty good to begin with, lol.
