    I’m sure it’s tough. I wonder if it’s a team effort. One person on duty driving, the other on duty flipping

    Maybe you should be posting flyers for missing pot?

    I probably should before there is a riot. I'm not the only one sitting here wondering where it went.

    I know drivers that started with megas, stayed with the mega that does well. They don't start newbies out at a high rate and there is valid reasons for it, but those that hang in there can and do move up in money.

    I know people (several that started out flipping burgers), hung in there and are making big bucks now, regional managers and such.

    I know lots of drivers that never hired out to a mega and started out making bank as soon as they got their cdl.
    A all depends on the person, everybody is different.

    Why flip burgers before after and during trucking, I piloted crew boats 2003-2005 and studying ptec for refining work. So if you are asking rather you should cook burgers. I could help you cook me one and I'll let you know. 10-4
