    How many guys are advertising in the Russian paper for runs out to California and back to Chicago with produce that pays $1400 or $1500 per trip? I know in the Polish paper they are always advertising. I remember a few years ago before the economy take a dump some where paying even $1700 per trip!

    Personally I would hold off on buying a truck now.

    There is one ad right now from Chi to LA and back. Doesn't lists the pay though. I just came back from LA month ago but was on a car. Wasn't too bad and took 2 days but then again it was a luxury car. If I had a truck I'd be doing this year round.

    Where do you work right now, for a company?

    I like to run to LA too. You should give them a call. If not, look at JKC trucking out of the south side. They are BIG Polish company and mainly do Chicago to California. I work part time for two small companies, sometimes I go to Texas sometimes California or Washington. If a driver can't go on a trip they call me. I like Texas a lot too. Drop in San Antonio, deadhead to McAllen, back to Chicago. An easy $1100 :)

    OK I opened up the Polish paper and there are several driving schools advertising:

    1) Bull Dog driving school 708-456-0007

    2) Prestige driving school 773-848-1770

    3) Blue Horizon 773-735-1199

    4) Columbia driving school 773-735-1775

    5) Mid City driving academy 773-725-3000

    6) Expert driving school 773-763-5700

    7) Progressive driving School 773-736-5522

    I made the mistake of going to C1 in St.Loius which cost $4,000. I didn't know any better then. But these Chicago schools from what I heard charge around $1500 for the class A course. Call around and see who gives the best price. I'll shoot you an email.

    No not really however, he does have his cdl but he does not any experience, and I dont think he wants to go over the road. but on the other hand my uncle has been a driver for 7 years and he wants me to go into business with him. So at this point my husband does not matter.:biggrin_25511:
