    No i think he say he drove a box truck like over 30 years ago , but he has never drivin cdl a over the road before. But apparently has 30 years of experience of running a business and think he can do better than all the experienced ppl out here thats been doing trucking for that long . we all heard that story a million time, and they all fail lol

    I just want to know who wants to work so many hours a week anymore. Even the 60-70 rule is a lot. Especially without time and half.

    that's the difference between engine model year and truck model year. It's been like that for 60 years.

    Did the OP ever get a truck or start a fleet?

    I kind of figured that might be the case. Whenever I come across really interesting threads, that are several years old, like this one that doesn't have an outcome, I like to ask the OP to see what happened. Haven't found 1 yet that replied yet.

    You know what happened. “Successful” businessman, loads of cash. Can buy any rig he wants, looks at you and me and automatically assumes that he is smarter, therefore will automatically succeed where we all fail. Looks deeper into it and all he sees is roadblock roadblock roadblock roadblock. Eventually, self preservation kicks in and he decides to sink his money into another business that pays and doesn’t require as much time. An owner operator is going to work on average 100 hrs a week (driving, truck maintenance, home maintenance…etc.).
