    I’ve been pretty slow for the better part of a year now. Way too many people willing to work for peanuts.

    Do you do something like 2000 miles with $6000 gross every week with your dump truck, or how does your typical week look like?

    That's about right for the week a little lower than I usually bring home. Not to mention I am home every day on't work weekends either

    When the phrase “ I don’t get out of bed for less than…” or “ I don’t turn the key for less than….” it’s time to move on to the next thread.

    I can understand your skepticism but there are those of us that have been doing this a long long time (44 yrs) and planned for the day were we could think and make decisions like that. I can go broke at home much more comfortably at home than at some crappy truckstop.
