    May this be a warning to all the single owner operators who are getting starry eyed right now with the rates and thinking they're going to strike it rich by adding a truck or two. Not saying this was nightgunners sole motive.

    Also, not saying it can't be profitable, but the odds are against you. I've got buddies who have added an extra truck and can't keep them rolling with guys who are dependable & conscientious.

    Good luck.
