    It appears that I missed the rant from MoneyMikeIII. I probably would have enjoyed it. I love when a guy that does not even have a CDL yet, asks for advise and then gets mad when he hears the truth. Oh well, rant away, I'm still going to play golf this afternoon.

    I guess he's never gotten to the auction to find out the vehicle he's supposed to get, isn't paid for yet and he can either sit till it might get released or leave without it. OR the COP that he was supposed to get and the guy tells him that he'll deposit the money and doesn't, or the car damaged on his trailer because a piece of debris flew up and damaged the $70,000 SUV he had on the trailer that he has to pay for now because it's under the $2500 deducible on his insurance.

    In a perfect world, I'd have 6 cars on my trailer paying $1,50 a mile each and they'd all go from the same pickup point to the same drop point every day and at delivery, the guy would hand me $1000 extra just because I did a good job.

    Yup, it's all just a big game. And since it's all for fun, you can select a load of 8 Mustang Convertibles and BACK them all on...

    A big monopoly game? LMFAO!!! Even a guy "new" to this like me can laugh at that. Wow, someone has a LOT to learn about the tough realities of this business. Still, I love what I do, and would never trade it to bump a dock for someone else.
