    Between $650-$1100 depending on how much I run. Mine fluctuates a lot more because I need to take more time off than other guys that can stay out longer. All depends on what direction, too. West = more miles, east = more stops in a shorter distance. I'm still happy here. I'll update more once I park after fueling

    Happiness > money. Do what makes you happy.

    When I was your age, I was too busy chasing the rat race and climbing the ladder to realize being happy was more important than your place in society.

    It wasn't until I killed enough brain cells that I realized that it's the small things in life that make you happy. Whether it's having a sweet ride with nice lights or getting to have supper with your kids or having an extra $500 for a high priced call girl in DC, it's about finding what makes you happy and enjoying it.

    Couldn't agree more. Although this job makes me happy, there are some things I don't like about it, but the grass is never greener, right? All about the lens you look through I'm learning.
    But I digress. Took my ol lady with me for a short two week run, out to Chicago, down to Raleigh, up to Boston, home again. She enjoyed it so I'm happy with that. Other than that the new truck is runnin great, I'm getting the miles i need, and finally able to pay my bills again.

    The grass is greener where you fertilize it.

    Cant help you with any good flatbed companies out of Chicago.
    Apart from the big ones like mercer and long haul trucking, don't know any ones out that way. (Apart from Norbet but I don't know how they operate in the midwest or whats changed since I was with them. But I do have their chicago rate sheet.)

    Eh it was a good run. I left to start with a local two truck dump trailer operation south of Albany NY. Fun while it lasted but just wasn't quite right for me. Paying for a truck and Harley that I could drive once a month just wasn't worth it
