When I see posts like these it just makes me laugh and get mad at people who give this kind of discouraging advise. How can driving more can give you more business experience?
I started this job to learn trucking business. My day for the last 2 months consists of driving, dropping of a load, getting a new one and driving again. I really dont have any time to chat with other drivers. Yes, you learn how to drive a big rig, maintain it and deal with breakdowns, but 6-12 months is plenty for learning the basics of all that, you can wait forever to learn everything. If it was not for this forum I could do this job for 5 years and still know nothing about business side of it.

 

Well I think it's about time to buy your own truck. No use wasting time get at it. Fortunes await.

 

BASARAB,

I've been in this business for 54 years and still learn things at times.

This I can tell you, the Government give auto manufacturers subsidies to survive.

Trucking companies don't need subsidies, they just hire Owner Operators/Lease Operators instead.
