Something I probably should have made explicitly clear to everyone giving me advice, although this thread took an unexpected turn... My monthly...
Thanks man. I think your right as long as my understanding lines up with reality. Making this thread has left me with an impression on just how...
I plan to pay a business advisor to confirm my intentions with the S-corp and I may as well wait for that until I'm closer to buy. Thanks for...
Appreciate the advice. The S-corp route just seemed appealing to me because of the income tax I could avoid. I know tax deductions are a thing but...
Very true and there is a healthy balance between being overly cautious and risk adverse and being too careless. I 100% believe you could enter...
Its not something I'm 100% against I just love the idea of getting a new truck that'll be mine for 5+ years. She'd be babied and would get all the...
Alright everyone I really appreciate your thoughts and opinions. Again nothing is written in stone here. I'm going to get my S-Corp LLC going soon...
Yeah I'm sure their are plenty of young guys like myself getting hyped up for being an O/O for this reason or the next and obstacle after obstacle...
I didn't realize it was that high of a failure rate, and yeah election year does add an extra component of risk. Again my thinking is from what I...
7 hours is the norm if you're unloading and loading. Its why its highly encouraged to get your destination the night before. It is a lot of...

Good catch, I plan to learn and DIY as much as I can but I'm not starting with a good knowledge base.
No I was only given a ballpark price from my company helping me with questions and advice. But it could be as much as 800 to 1000 a month.
Ah, thanks for the edumacation. Well it varies but 30 to 50% of the time I'm driving glass to a receiver where I would pickup another glass load....
No I am 99% certain that the 2800 was strickly line haul. the 580 is the fuel surcharge so total gross before deductions would be 3380.
If that was a question to me I don't know what backhaul means. Company pays tractor owners 75% of line haul and 100% of fuel surcharge. No...
Thanks for the tip. I'll keep it in mind. Stay safe out there. Side thought isn't a non emissions truck going to be a problem in California? Lot...
I've gotten pretty good so I can do an unload and be finished in around three hours. Loading is about 4.5 hours but it is non stop busy work. This...
