    You can search a thread, just search TTT or to the truck.

    To save you the agony I'm getting 1.50 CPM To The Truck on all miles. My numbers seem to dwindle down the more I sit.... But, I'm the type of guy that's always wishing I win the lottery but I never buy a ticket.

    And they wonder why 99.99% of trucking operations fail.

    Come on bro, are you even serious??? This gotta be a troll because there is no way you wanna become a O/O and not do any kinda research or homework like be for real. You want this man to give you all his numbers then you go do it and fail because you don't live where he lives nor do you run the lanes he run ( if you don't beg him for that info) then blame him for your short comings. How bout you start up with your own plan and goals, then do some research to see if your plan is realistic. After that start your own thread showing what you've learned and ask for advice on what you learned and which direction you wanna go. I'm not trying to be mean but it's obvious you don't have a clue. You need to really research and plan for about a year because this industry is to inconsistent to jump in with limited knowledge and be successful. Every part of the industry have seasons. Good luck

    I can tell you that at Landstar there are truck that gross a few grand up to 800,000 plus, some make a little and some make a lot.
    Out of 9000 trucks no 2 are the same.
    Two truck that look alike may have cost that are a dollar a mile different.
    You got research to do.

    Woah, easy tiger. Blairs thread is a great read for those wanting more info. If you want a real good read check out DY's thread.

    Honestly I don't know if you have what it takes if your not willing to sit down and give it a read. You don't have to read every post. Just go through an read all of Blairs posts. He's done a great job using the reply with quotes to see what questions he's answering.

    Good luck trey. I hope for your sake you don't miss out on a wealth of free knowledge most had to learn the hard way before TTR and it's generous users.

    How did you know you had a problem? Sudden loss in pressure? You limped it in or broke down in the shop?
