    Nah I wouldn't care im just going off of what I'm told. Maybe you're the exception hey that's good.. And yea you do have high paying loads going back to Phila from So Call so I'm not doubting you.. Just saying overall the goal is 1.50 round trip pulling Van.. Anything more than that hey that's great

    Good, we found some common ground. Now the w question becomes, is there potential there for more revenue and profit for the guy that has a big truck payment and home mortgage.

    Also, I think we both agree that no matter how much a person makes, bad money management skills will make him/her always in that"can't make enough" position.

    Hey Spydie that's why I said normally 1.50 round trip coast to coast is good.. But I was told that people can do it for more..

    Ok now I'm confused. Are you saying that's all they can make here, or are you saying that's enough? Cause no way would a buck fifty average get me out of the house.

    Lmao no.. I'm saying going to coast to coast with the Van.. The objective is 1.50 on average for the trip but anything more is great. Normally u might get 1.70 into the west but only get 1.40 out back east... But I might have misspoken @Truckin_Texas91411 because im talking bout the guys that go into Washington or Oregon.. Alot of the old timers don't go to Cali..I went to Cali last week for 1.80 but came back for 1.45.. Safe to say I'll pass on Cali for awhile lol

    Well I doubt you are an idiot and probably not a total fool either. Poor, broke and whiny are definite possibilities though. Whiny I can't help you with but poor and broke I might can. That's what we are here for. What advice do you think you need in your 5th week that I can maybe help you out with. I don't pull a van but business is still business and I'm sure I can tell you something that might help. If you pm me with details on what you got going on I will gladly try to give you good solid advice on things you can consider to change or do different.

    I was hoping that is what you meant. Lots of people reading this, some not experienced in running a truck, didn't want them to misunderstand.
