    $1,500 in 5 days? uhm, sure but you better run pretty hard. your setting yourself up for failure if your goal is to make $1,500 a week easy.

    Truthfully, if you are making $1,500 right now as easy as you say you are...then I think you should stay there. Dont hurt what's working for you!

    Some loads do, some don't. But even the ones that do don't cover ALL the tolls, especially since IL has been raising tolls for trucks every year since '14.....

    It's about $50 to take a load from south side of Chicago to Milwaukee. If you go early enough you can avoid them by cutting across downtown via 94 to US 41, but not after 5:00am as rush hour starts.....

    hehehe in this area unless you want to be stuck in traffic forever you need to pay tolls I usually spend anywhere from 500 to 800 on tolls a week but then again I go to long island a lot that round trip is close to 200 dollars... anybody knows where the grass plants are I have been hauling a lot of those loads lately and they are a pain in my buttom
     
    RERM Thanks this.
