    DAT and Truckstop. Com, but don't tell anyone, we just share these sites between each other on this forum, so some rookies who have no idea of their operating costs don't find out about them.
    BTW, what is your operating cost, how much do you plan to charge per mile and on how many miles per day?

    First of all my post was a sarcastic one, he would have found those sites anyways. Second, it's better to educate people like him, so he knows his operating cost and does not haul cheap freight. If I did not read all the threads on this forum for a year, before starting my business, I would have been another chicken running in the dark, just like OP. Thanks to other members who shared the knowledge, I started fully prepared.

    I was going to speak my overly opinionated mind. Had a pretty insulting post written out. I read it over and decided he will eventually figure it out or sink to the bottom with out any input from me.
