    I am a believer in taking things one step at a time. Company driver first, then leased contractor, then get your own authority. Don't be in a rush...life is long and there is plenty of time to accomplish your goals.

    That's kind of what i am working on, but the toll rates are killer on that stuff... Just to run 294 up to milwaukee and then back down takes $80

    Back on linehaul here, freight in the Chicagoland area and Milwaukee, up to Detroit and around MI paid great! I could see grossing 800-1000 a day being fairly easy. Delivering and picking up everyday would be for sure. I didnt mind hustling with tarps and everything all the time. Money was good!
    Even shingles out of Chicago paid GREAT!

    stay off 294,there are other ways around,I often run 41 got traffic lights like around 15-20 but takes about he same time 1 scale house that have only seen open twice, and it's a direct connect to 94.
