The journey begins - purchased a truck.

But yet Flipflops wanted to compare 1099 on another thread, I never had direct customers issue 1099. Go figure that one out

 

Different strokes for different folks. Two people can buy the truck brand new. One blows up @500k and the other is still running with over a million on the clock.

Not everything is as cookie cutter as you think. The longer your out here the more you realize that.

 

Not here long

You convinced me, I have wasted all these years at LS not making any money.
If you could do one thing for me I would appreciate it. Call the IRS and tell them that I really don't make that much money.
I will not post rates in a public forum, but my taxes for 2014 worked out .41 per mile, more that a lot of drivers wages, and yes I have a good accountant, and I ran a lot of miles.

 

Hey blair, have you done the crankshaft damper since you've had the truck? Did mine this past weekend and the ONLY difference I see comes from my mirrors. They don't shake at idle anymore.
Think I'm up to 1.6mm or higher, still getting clean samples with gal oil every 6500 miles.
BTW does yours leak oil between the pickup tube and oil pump? Couple drops, but enough to annoy me.
Almost went out your way to buy a trailer, but decided against. Would have hit you up otherwise!

 

You saw a rate con, times 3 plus one other load on one tank of fuel.
Didn't find that on a load board.

 

With all due respect to you and this informational thread on leasing on with Landstar, wouldn't 41 cents per mile equal that of a flatbed driver with a couple of years experience. I don't mean it in anyway disrespectful, just trying to make a decision on going on my own. Thankyou.
