    You make chicken feed. You brought up compensation. Compared to any of the O/O you make chicken feed.

    He's a trainer too... That's gotta be something else... I must say, don't think we'd make a mile before green bay had a cab on the way for him on the side of the interstate. I'd be a quick experience with me that's 4 sure. :)

    What was your taxable personal income for 2022?, that's the only number that counts.
    Any thing else is just smoke and mirrors, or as judge Judy would put it 'a lot of who shot John'.

    Yep, $100k a year plus health insurance, 401k match, and no risk working an average of 5 days a week is "chicken feed".

    How about you post your net - after fuel, insurance, maintenance, etc? And just for your truck, not trucks 2 and 3, because if we want to start talking about investments . . .

    I'm certain anyone that gets assigned to him that doesn't renounce their parents is quickly returned to the terminal.
