    The oils in skin and normal wear are hard on steering wheel also motorcycle grips. That's why lots of bikers wear the finger less gloves. It worse on handle grips on motorcycles because the hands are always in the same place.

    Old friend of mine told me a long time ago
    “If you work 18-20 hours a day 6 days a week: you can make money even if its at mcdonalds- bc you never gonna have any time to spend it”

    I work a lot less than I used to.


    I been thinking lately I ought to get away from driving. Pretty sure I can make a lot more money NOT driving than I can driving. Ought to have took all the money I spent on nice equipment over the last 15 years and put it in something else- like 8% dividend stocks; land; inventory for a retail business…. Something I ain’t gotta show up 100 hours a week to to make money.

    I bought my second home a little over a year ago. Improved it a bit, new cabinets etc. I could easily flip it and make 50-70,000 on it. My first home I sold I made $50,000 on it. I think flipping houses after a bit of elbow grease and time isn’t a bad way to make a bit of extra cash. I’d like to get a place for an Airbnb too. Those are extremely popular where I live.

    Seriously some truths there. The average person really doesn’t have a clue what trucking is.

    It’s a myth. You’ll still put in 100 hours a weeks.

    Maybe its time for you to hire and train a driver. You've spent a lot of time, effort, and money over the years building your business. You know it inside out, are an expert. leverage that, because that is where the return on your investment is. Don't just hire any greaseball off the street, be picky, then train them to do the job the way you do it and enforce those standards, treat them right and they'll drive through the gates of hell for you. Rinse, lather, repeat until the margin you get off of each one adds up to enough for you to start taking breaks from driving.
    But I could be completely full of crap, you've forgotten more than I'll ever know, I just look at your posts and think "man that cat has got his Sh#T together all in one neat little pile".
