    Hit up Schneider’s low bed division. You’ll be moving big ol dozers and loaders in no time. The pay is really good, .35 cents a mile with 5 dollar chain pay.

    You think? I was thinking go buy a 3500 ram with no bed on it and driving around calling yourself a hotshotter was the best way.

    You still need dot numbers to be a real hotshot so why not buy an old single screw sleeper rig? Instead of beating up an overpriced pickup.

    Oh I ain't doing it, just poking fun at the guys with brand new trucks and no work. I have a F750 that I use to tow the race car around if I wanted to give it a shot. I looked into it (not very hard tho) and there was somehow actually less than no money around me lol. Yet I see those Dodges every day never with a trailer behind them lol.

    I started out heavy haul, first real truck driving job, but back then I had never heard of a cdl graduate, if there were schools to klearn to drive a truck, I had never heard of one.
    the company needed a driver for lowboy truck, mainly hauling their own equipment, but did haul for others.
    Itws my first real truck job, but had been raised around trucks and drove grain and hay trucks since way before I had any license, Things have changed and the way I did it you would have to know somebody these days, for them to take a chance on you, that is if there insurance would even let them.

    It is the best way. Keep those tow mirrors out and the COAL rollin.

    Get an 8 in lift too. Let everyone know you change ball joints more than your oil (even though I can’t change either) and gas trucks are for pussys.

    This is coal country. Dodge makes it Cummins shakes it.
