    happiness is where you find it in your heart. And it could be anywhere doing anything; but if you're happy, it's all that really matters.

    You're right, I don't pay them, I take a percent of their revenue. .
    But yes, they do make $100K year.

    Because you can't, doesn't mean others can't.

    You don't get top people for paying mega wages, or treating them like mega drivers.

    My life is basically documented, with pictures, on this site for the last 4 years.

    You and your buddy have 0 hands on experience with what I do, so basically you have squat, and talk out your ###.

    What you do accomplish is weeding out people that are so weak minded, they don't even try.

    For that, we all thank you, cause it saves everyone a lot of time.
     
    RoadCall and Veteran driver Thank this.

    How are you your own boss if you’re driving a truck that belongs to someone else?
