    Well I had to pay for parking.
    Does that ever materialize? Or it's always day 4+

    If you get a better job either better money or home more often with predictability. Or some combo of. That's a win.

    I'm an oo I have to stay out to make money. It doesn't make a lot of sense, except I can take time off. But monetary wise working at Walmart 5 days a week. Home two days a week at 105k a year would be better financially. I would be clearing 6k a month. With no buying tires, or truck payment, repairs, ect..

    Everybody in the thread would like you to do better/ be happier. Your sucess isn't going to get me to make less money. There is no competition. People are sharing what helped them make money.

    They aren’t too bad. Had a semi-retarded great uncle that drove one for many years, so my opinion was not very high of them, but the one I saw today was nice! Bright teal green, (my wife would say seafoam), went great with the white walls!

    It's an option. I'm still hooked to a van. It's ok. Nothing special. Easier to back, hands down, than a flat. But no real high paying loads just shorter ones, that pay ok.

    I have seen company flatbed jobs advertising 100k. 90k ect ... Dont know how true that is. But no hazmat required. I was going to make around 100 to 110 running into Chicago everyday

    I have talked to team air gas drivers a making 125k each. Solos around 110k for otr. Local guys making similar off hourly. That's all hazmat tanker.....

    It's a harmless African snake. No poison the most common pet snake. They breed them for a bunch of different looks. Called Morphs. All the same breed.

    The fatter ones are normally female. More stuff inside.

    I meant "the color Green" as a reference to an old car salesman joke. Not the Woke green...

    Couple car shopping, looked at several and were close but husband was leaning heavy on one wife was thinking no way...
    Salesman talked it up with emphasis to hubby, she still to herself thinking no way. She had a flash; "Can you get that in Green...?
    Experienced salesman slammed the close...?? "Do you want it in Green?"

    (No Green visible in the pic and I did not want any.)
