I do all my maintenance, including the balancing of tires, I am a full-time mechanic, but at the end of the day, they are neck and neck. Pickups...
Agreed, but they aren't allowed to legally work on a vehicle without the state certification (not ASE). I don't need an auditor showing up again,...
To replace my Gearbox with a reman would run me 7-8k. Sad part, it will have to get replaced again before you would even service a big truck...
I don't disagree at all, but state requires it. I know a lot of those types, that's why I haven't offered them a job.
Lol, you sound like a very viable employee!
That is only for the trucking side, my shop costs much, much more. I pay my shop to work on my truck (I'm the mechanic). I don't know the amount...
I won't disagree that numbers vary, I just used the average for the last two years I have done HS, been in a big truck longer. Numbers don't lie...
I have job openings! lol
It is an exemption waiver, it is to prove you don't need it. I technically don't, but it isn't bad to have when you have a lot of irons in the...

19,973 is misc expenses. Think plate, ucr, sos fees we will roll trailer plate or other administrative costs into that along with repair and...
I am happy they did, if you can't pass the test, you really don't know as much as I need you to know to properly diagnose the vehicle and not...
I run 4 businesses, I do just fine. More work than I can do on my own, but it seems I can't find qualified people to work in a shop for $45...
I also have dedicated, no worries. This isn't so much for me, I'm doing fine. The headline was to get attention, that's all.
Again, this isn't for me, this is to help new drivers. I make plenty to provide for me and my fiancee and then enough to purchase retirement. I...
$2.6 per mile assuming 100k miles loaded and 20k empty totaling 120k miles. For the same 75k in pay, you do realize the wages per hour you...
I'm just breaking down the numbers as I'm seeing and meeting a lot of newbies in the industry taking freight for under $2/mi. I'm not sure they...
