Coastie Going O/O at last

My comment on MM comment tough he not worth my time with his comments like he never made a bad judgment all. So Yes Medicine man I said it, I am sure you made bad decision too.

Well it was said it getting to much for me? Yes it is. I am off the road for sure. I had to spend another night in the Emergency room this past Saturday. My Days over the road is over. My legs not going to take it anymore. The Evil word of Amputation was mentioned to me in the Emergency room in Illinois, And Saturday here at my local hospital, I was in to much pain. I've had numerous of Kidney stones but none hurt as I was with my knees then.

With my plans from the get go of becoming an O/O was cover this situation. The sad part I was not fully ready for it. But I will be able to recover with some good sound decision which I feel I have made. By going with the local company small but growing. I will be better off. I'll make enough to pay for the truck and live off of. Least better than before I came back out on the road in 2007. Yes I had set backs And I pulled through them before, and I will again. So I do not care what MM says, I'm not going to let him or anyone else shut me down. I may not be able to drive myself, But I am not quitting the Industry. So MM you can take that to the BANK....

What will I be doing? What I did from 2001 till I came back out, sell on Ebay and maybe at the flea markets. Did not make a living but had fun at it, and it paid for 3 trips over to the Philippines.... No you will not be seeing my 2002 Pete on it unless I am able buy a truck that get's better fuel mileage.

So guys be careful out there, every coming through Georgia give me hear that Air horn toot. I'll come on and give updates how my truck going with the new company.

 

Yes The truck will be hauling Granite tombstones. out of Elberton. One of the main companies is losing it self but other are gaining what they are losing. ATS has pulled out most of there trucks after P.O. most of the Granite Sheds with Granite they had lost yet it was not lost. Sat on their dock for 3 years. There nothing else here really Chicken Plant Bubba burgers and they have their own trucks. everything else is Granite.

A load of Granite pays really well in reality. A load can pay around 7000.00 to the truck. The Company I am leasing onto showed me not just tell me but SHOWED me the records of his trucks was doing. A pickup dually with a goose neck, was doing 5K a month A Freightshaker with a 16 foot Flatbed doing 5000. That after paying expenses and driver. And he Pays for the drivers meals also..... I did work for him when I first came back out. With the Pete it will be able to haul more weight than any of the other trucks he showed me. With the trailer he buying he will not be able to put 40K on but will be able to put 35K 30Ft US ARMY trailers And if the driver able to offload fast he could get back and do a turn around and make twice as much. Much depends on how many drops he has. 1999 and first part of 2000 I worked for a Granite Shed driving their truck. Leave out on Monday night and back home Thursday or Friday. anywhere from 15 to 19 drops pulling a 45 ft trailer. Here it ill be less than 10 stops.

The Clearing 5000.00 includes deadheading home. Granite does not pay by the mile It pays by the weight. I have thought it out. I have seen it in writing. I have seen it done. I have done it. The Granite shed I worked for shipped on their own trucks did not charge the customer for shipping. They made enough on the rock to pay it. They was leasing 2 trucks when I was working for them, now they OWN 3.

So you say it can not be done, I am going to SHOW you it can be done

Oh yeah that 5000.00 also included paying motel expense, since his truck did not have a sleeper. My pete does less expense.
