    Will do. My second full week settlement should hit my account at 3am tomorrow. My first full week was $4200 after fuel, on 1800 miles. :)
     
    Lepton1 and Oxbow Thank this.

    Lol, just so much Lol. You brag about tripling your income at the end of the year, not right after you got a truck.
    Some people made good money as drivers, bought trucks and then declared bankruptcy, because stupid thing broke their backs. Wow just wow
     
    gentleroger and Lepton1 Thank this.

    So you were making $1400 as company driver, now you got $4200 and you think you tripled your income?
     
    PoleCrusher, Tb0n3 and Lepton1 Thank this.

    Of course.... Cuz trucks cost nothing to operate, nothing breaks, no maintenance, no insurance, no permits, and other fees, and if something catastrophic happens just quit and declare bankruptcy. But this never happens
     
    PoleCrusher, Tb0n3, Lepton1 and 2 others Thank this.

    I chuckled at this. I think because I don't find it that surprising. We've got some pretty sharp guys around here, a wealth of knowledge & experience. I could probably rattle off an easy 25 I'd take advice from.... But, contrary to that notion, you also have the guy's who have IQ's lower than the speed their truck is governed at... I suppose I laughed because the overall idea you're conveying 8thnote, is tragically true.
