If you think you can learn this from a book forget about. It would be like me asking if their is a book I can buy that would teach me how to become a doctor

Just listen to Kevin Rutherford on Sirius XM & you'll learn everything you need to know to become hugely successful and fabulously wealthy in just a few short weeks.
Don't laugh, it worked for me. -

If you want to play football, you watch it on TV to get an idea. The game. You join a football team in middle school. You develop your skills. HIGHSCHOOL, the players are bigger and stronger. You may have been top dog in middle school, but they're going to set you on your arse in HIGHSCHOOL. You do well in highschool and get accepted into a college. You may have been the best highschool baller in your state, but those college boys are going to hit you so hard that they deflate your lungs.
So, you want to go pro...
well, go a company where they pull the wagon that you want to pull. If this company plays pro ball, they will have owner operators that can go head to head with the 100%owner OP companies pulling the same wagon. You should be loading at the same places as the owner ops. Have them share their numbers. If you're making $.40cpm as a company, and those owner ops are averaging $1.50 a mile, guess what? That's not a place that you want to own a truck at.
When in middle school, you will see one outstanding player. In highschool, there's one outstanding player. In college, there are several outstanding players on the team. In the pros, everyone is an A-game player. Same thing goes with trucking. There's an A-game, top level driver out there working for CR England. Never drops the ball, go toguy, he's happy, makes decent money, gets what he wants, and gets the best loads. Kinda like Lebron James at the Cavaliers. His face was plastered down buildings, but he would have never won a championship in Cleveland. The better companies will have a higher percentage of A Gamers who are happy. Where CR England might have .5%, the better teams will have 50-70% A Gamers.
You can tell an A Gamer by how he carries himself in public. Short tempered? You will never make it to the top. Thin skinned? Nope. Cheap? Nope. Negative? No. Find an A Gamer and watch and learn. -
Yes,

" Iacocca ".
