    There's nothing any driver can "bring" over another except being a million mile driver and fact is anyone under 10 years experience cant fit that bill, ive seen drivers who wont drive more than 4 hours a day and accidents in slots with good companies and people who run high miles with absolute garbage companies being taken advantage of running 30 to 40cpm making absolutely nothing

    And we all know veterans get some unjustified pay boost in the industry

    There's nothing any driver can bring over another because most companies dont do proper driver verifications, they dont ask how many miles a driver has done, they dont ask for weekly miles, the only thing a driver can bring is that another company didnt slander them on DAC/hire right and other reports

    If "hopping jobs" refusing to work for a carrier that not only shorted me my honest pay or stole from me like WEL and my prior company did the i guess I should tell every recruiter I'll just work for free? Because that's what everyone here is expecting me to do

    Not hard to follow FMCSA regulations if youre making money, everyone pays taxes, brokers are unnecessary if you have connections, lenders will nearly hand you any amount of cash for a truck if you can cover the down, shops take you if you have money

    Only boss they have is the customer and not hard to keep getting freight if you can get it there

    You don't know what you don't know and without that missing part of the puzzle being an owner-op does look easy. Ha ha. Which part of California are you looking for work?

    Everything you just said entirely contradicted itself? So youre saying applying to everything isbt trying and youre saying doing nothing is also bad? So doing what im supposed to bad and doing nothing is bad? So simply existing is a no?

    You neglect that ive already been a lease op and I made the money, the problem was I didn't want to lease at the time

    Made $45,000 that month (team lease didnt actually even run a full month) and my friend covered most of the costs
