need some insight fellas

From what I have seen when others have tried that, you lose two ways.
Money and friendship.
This seldom seems to work out, but good luck.

 

Hi rl, I've been out of the loop for a while, but it seems, something like that will suck you dry. The only way you could make it work, I feel, is if you drove it yourself. Over the years, I've seen time and time again, where a buddy drove a truck for someone, and had nothing but problems. Remember, it's a lot easier getting into it, than getting out of it, and it could take years to recover, and heaven forbid, if they kill someone, it's all over for you.

 

No, I am not thinking that. Just because he is 'covered' does not mean he cannot cost you a pile of money.Claims and break downs will make a rich man poor.
Friendship will get in the way of making good business decisions.
Talked to a REP ? Remember, they are a salesman, trying to sell you something.If there was a lot of $$$ in it, why doesn't the REP do it ?


Still, good luck.

 

No, I understand. It's just harder and harder for a one truck outfit to make it, unless you drive it yourself. I don't mean to discourage you, it's just been my experience, like jbatmick sez, I've worked for friends in a 1 truck deal, and it started out fine, and ended up #### you, #### you. I wish you the best of luck.

 

I admire your enthusiasm, I do. This country was built on those kind of ideals. Sadly, I DON'T think there's any money in it, and that's why these places are looking for people, because it doesn't pay to run their own truck. You'd almost do better, dressing your pets in silly costumes and posting them on YouTube. ( seriously, I heard of someone doing that, and quit their regular job, they were doing so well) I had my own truck for several years, and I know all about it, and what can happen, and that was 20 YEARS AGO. Again, people do make it, but the failure rate is pretty outstanding.

 

its gona look like you making a few bucks until some unexpected brakedowns and you have to call road service.
