    I personally like steady miles and great equipment maintenance....I think I speak for many when I say, no micromanaging. I am however, a little more low maintenance than some drivers, especially the ones that think they can only shower at pilot, Loves, or TA lol

    That would be a decent start to go into business solo, I don't know about starting a company...perhaps the OP should make another 100k and maybe he can get another driver... building a company is far from an overnght process. The owner of my company drove over a decade before he started this company

    wow , you are not a happy person I see... thats exactly what you stated... read your post again..its very negative and discouraging, which is what you are doing now again.., you must be stuck somewhere with no load, angry with your dispatcher, and are looking for forums to express your frustration on someone here.. AND yes my cost estimates are exact to a T, as I went through it 3 times.. so dont go all ape on people here when you dont know what you are talking about.,... And another big YES, I am a SUPER TRUCKER, thank you very much. I will be here all week! :)

    LOL, that's the reply I expected. You cherry pick and generalize your responses without actually addressing specific critiques of your "exact estimates". You wear the super trucker label well. Completely dismissive of the advice given by others here and touting your own superior advice as the only correct course of action. Good luck on the forums Mr. Johnson. I don't expect that you'll be around very long.

    This got a little heated....every trucker thinks they have THE ANSWER. Everyone always says, "You can make more money here, or there," or they criticize an experience driecerbifbhe opts to work for a "bottom feeder." Some folks out here get a big head, and to the guy calling himself a super trucker, I'm not sure if that's a flattering term. Me personally, I'd rather he called a "safe trucker" or an "efficient trucker" or a "smart trucker." Why? Because those three elements are what you need to be successful out here, company driver or owner operator.
     
    SteveScott Thanks this.
