<p>[QUOTE="nkytrucker, post: 9997037, member: 206040"]Well, I did it anyway. And, quite frankly, I'd never work for another company as a driver again. I left driving a heavy wrecker for this, so I have a pretty high standard of autonomy and income requirements. The best paid local drivers in the area make about half what I'm used to bringing in, and I've managed to match, if not beat, that pulling cans. Not tooting my own horn, either. There's quite a few making more than me. I'm learning real quick that in local drayage, it's about work ethic and hustle. If you want to come in a 8, work till 5, and stand around the rails jawing with other drivers, work for someone else. If you've got drive, though, buy a truck, lease on, and cash out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
