    I think being a trainer and having a different dude in your truck every week or for as long as 6 weeks would be miserable. No money is worth that.

    Look in Supersnackbar’s thread in the favorite section. @brian991219 did a nice job of giving a possible explanation for the question posed in here. Apparently short runs are more profitable, but of course most drivers going to work for a company with mileage pay isn’t going to want any parts of that.

    Good post. This holds true for owner operators as well in most cases... YET, look how many guys come on here and feel they need to run 4k miles a week as owner op...

    It's truly sheep not business owner mentality.

    Been like that for years and years.
