    part of the reason I never really listened to the whole thing about truckers being nasty doing that, they are, but people In general are all nasty, not just drivers

    06 is definitely an acert not just a 50/50%, but it is the better of the twin turbo motors, they are expensive to overhaul though

    how many hours on it? I’m sure it has an outrageous number by the price, as true low mile/hour trucks about break the bank

    you probably will only net about the same as a company driver, but when you compare days actually worked and a half ### decent accountant, you can Turn enough dollars to have a better quality of life, you just won’t get rich, I leave Monday mid morning/afternoon and park Friday morning usually with under 1500 miles on the truck usually can sneak home Monday/Tuesday night too but gf can drive her own truck and make her own money as far as I’m concerned so if she’s out I just stay out

    Our weekly avg is 1500-1700 and that's plenty enough for me. As an O/O if you have to run more than 2300-2500 your doing something wrong. Difference is choosing to run more miles but if you have to in order to make ends meet you're running for the wrong people

    Sometimes I'll go as high as 2500, but only because I take the following week off. Occasionally I'll get back to back great loads that are just too good to pass up, so I'll run them to take some time off.
