    You don't have to go to UCLA or Harvard to get your degree...
    There are plenty of ways to pay your way for school
    Scholarships
    Grants
    Loans
    There is no excuse for you not to go at all!!!!!!

    Amway people show their big numbers also. but what are the normal working people getting, and as far as 1.40 per mile, Take out your expences for the truck you own, etc. not much. left. don't let the hype fool ya, I work for a small trucking Co. with only 10 trucks, not much per mile driving the Co. truck, but they give me more miles than the driver mill co.s do, so I make more in the long run.
     
    Matthew and Working Class Patriot Thank this.

    How is trucking? Like how is it on the road? Do you have a laptop on there when you are on the road?
