Message:: [QUOTE="blairandgretchen, post: 12316970, member: 76574"]It's certainly not for the general fool - but it does work for some. Even pulling company vans. You have to set your sights high, and figure out (usually by looking REAL hard in the mirror), when you miss your mark - what the real problem is. A few years back I found a gig close to the house in the winter-time that was loaded BBQ propane bottles from shipper to receiver, and empties back. 24/7 DIY load/unload - and I pulled a few loads because things had gotten slow. Turns out, the regular drivers had some issues, which is why it popped up on the board - they were ex-PRIME drivers that had 'settled' on this gig and it paid about $1.50 - $1.60 to the truck for  - what was to me - heavy and cheap, labor intensive junk. My point is - if you came from rice and beans - and are quite happy with Chef Boyardee - then you'll never strive for caviar. So, it's not something anyone can explain - but you'll figure it out as you go, until the point you 'settle' and it works for you. Or doesn't.[/QUOTE]
