    New guy learning the trucking business, I have been o/o doing Hot Shot trucking for 10 years now and still learning how this stuff works. Lost my old job after 25 years at the same place. So I started out on my own, made every mistake you could of, but still rolling down the highway. I love this type of work, which I started 25 years ago. Thanks for the great forms now, I'm getting a good education from you guys. Good Luck, Thanks Dennis.

    Welcome to the forum . If you've been able to survive the last few years you'll probably be very helpful to others with less experience .

    Thank You, were husband & wife team out enjoying our older years traveling around the country seeing the sight's and getting paid for it. I haul flatbed loads only, and I pick & choose what we like to haul and direction we like to go. We have had many offers to work for someone else, but we have earned the right to work for ourself. We had drivers working for us but do to slow down we had to cut back, were doing are thing now, 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 boss, & me the driver. HA HA.

    Yes I see, we pick up a wooden boat,( made in 1909) from Lake Leelanua resident and delivered to a boat shop in S. C. was a little nervous about the value of the boat, no family member would speak up. Went to a great nice who plans on restoring the boat. Love it up there in your country.
