I'll give bonus points to anyone that answers that if they're one of the guys that has never driven, has no experience, but wants to buy a truck and put a driver in it and rake in the money $$$$...

I always enjoy @Midwest Trucker posts.
From discussing how his business is profitable to difficulties at times finding drivers, from things rolling smoothly to crazy women running forklifts through new trailers, he just says it like it is.
That life is not for me, but it is interesting to have a look into the goings on of a fleet owner.Lumper Humper, TallJoe, Dale thompson and 5 others Thank this. -
I'm impressed! That's how it can be done, if you throw enough money at it... .
I had a customer call me about a year ago, they had picked up a load at a competitor up state, and their truck (two axle) derated on the drivers and was left immobile. After some consultation, they towed it 680 miles to Portland. Saved the load, but jeepers, that was a fair sized tow bill.... Had to switch tow companies half way at the Oregon border.
One of the few things that stuck with me in business school was an instructor pointing out that if it costs you money to save a deal with the customer, you have only lost a little money, but you still have the customer so you can make it back......Midwest Trucker, TallJoe, Dino soar and 3 others Thank this. -
