Rookie Seeking Advice

I Found this online. I can't say I recommend them.
All I can advise you with is
DO NOT Haul Freight that cost more than 25% of what you are going to spend on fuel
Example
1-A Load from Detroit to Houston = 1300 Miles
Fuel Cost 1300 Miles / YOUR fuel Millage LOADED ( For a hot shot AVG 15 miles per Gallon ) = 87 Gal = $350 APROX.
So You Have to have $350X4=$1400
If you Haul it or if you agree to haul it for less JUST BECAUSE The LOAD WILL TAKE YOU HOME Blaaa BLAAAA
Then you have a Flat Tire? A Fine?,An Oil Change Bill?,Need to buy a windshield before you cross the scale house?
Unexpected Expense's you will stop driving for a living and you will begin the Arguing with your Partner and you are on your way
to a dead end, bad credit and all the things that make up a chicken Hauler
2- PAY OFF your Rig before you start getting tired and quite and your payments are still there
when you have a Paid-Off rig you don't have to Haul Trash Loads.
You can just take your pick of the Crop
Let the cut throats Snag the sh**t Loads First
3- Drive @ reasonable speeds especially when you are loaded & check your load often every 2-4 hrs.
You Don't Need a Damage to your spiffy new RV a vent on top can come unglued and here you are paying $$$$$ for a plastic vent
Small RV Tires get Hot Fast Do Ya Know How much that cost? + Road service + Weekend Labor Rate BLaaaa Blaaa
4- Keep your ducks in the row when it comes to the DOOO DOOO Man & The Tax Man
One fine can rob you out of a whole week of revenue
Check your chickens Daily or you will have to sit cool on your stool in the truck stop idling trying to figure out where the hell you have been yesterweek
When you could be looking for a load or you are on your way to finish your trip & get it cashed.
5- MAKE ENOUGH DOUGH so you don't have to work NOV,DEC,JAN,and maybe even FEB
Stay a way from SNOW and ICE Even if you Drive Like a Champ
You never know who is going to slide & give you a BIG HUG during the slip & slide Season
It doesn't Mater who's Fault it was..........Your Name and your company name is on the record now.....SO What?....... Try & get Insurance Next Year
Buying Cheap insurance is like buying Cheap anything you may end up with a coverage that wasn't worth buying
Keep your record clean so you Don't have to
Buy Cheap Coverage
6- Never work for some one that pays late and always have a so called GOOOOOOOOD Excuse. If They Can't Pay on time then they are Hauling Cheap Crap.
Always Set up your new JOB 30 days Before you Quit Your Current JOB
There are many many things to mention but that is enough by now I hate to see you quit before you start
Happy Trails

 

Expedite pays better . RV hauling only pays one way . If they say they pay $1.10 a mile and you have to return empty that's really $.55 a mile . I have known some couple that would find a motor home and trailer going to the same area . That would increase loaded income . You could also get a haul and tow and a pickup . A haul and tow is a low profile flatbed that carries on trailer and pulls another . The wife could pull a third with the pickup then load the pickup on the flatbed to return . The problem with these options is being able to get 2 or more RV's going to the same area on a regular basis .
All you can drive with a Class C in expedite is a cargo van or Sprinter . You can make a little money but not much and you'd have to own the van . There isn't enough revenue to split with carrier , driver , and owner .
With a Class B CDL you could drive for a fleet owner , buy your own truck or possibly your own fleet later .
