    Heck yea it is... Products are insanely expensive here but property and labor for building is cheap AF. We will probably open a store here and bring products from the US once we are here more often.

    I love it when people spread their wings. There's so much to experience outside the zip code.

    @Truckingdaytrader --

    "Think outside the box"

    Here's another carrier idea for you to consider....

    If all you really want to do is just drive, then this one might (also) be a decent match--and this one's food-grade tanker duty.

    Don't dismiss this one outright, just because it's tanker--that form of freight actually has A LOT of advantages to it that most drivers overlook--and thus miss out on all its cool perks.

    Indian River Transport recently began hiring new CDL grads. :D

    Their nearest terminal to you is approx 300 miles away--but since it's food-grade, they may very well let you take the rig home, for your home time. Inquire within.

    As I write this--I know they are hungry for more help....:oops:

    Note also....that Indian River has a good reputation here on the Forum.

    So there.....you wouldn't be starting off with a "loser" fleet.

    Thus--you might check into the following position (& since it's food-grade--no hazmat is req'd):

    Indian River Transport Company

    The big question here is: do you have anywhere nearby in mind that you can reasonably park a big rig, for home time?

    If not--you might wanna start lookin'......:Casualty helicopter

    Trucking Day trader ?
    Why don't you just trade options ?
    Why not be a swing trader ?
    High frequency trader ?

    I've done it all. I trade futures and occasionally options. I don't swing trade right now. I work with a prop firm. I don't like doing it full time because I get too nuts. Also, I am still new and still learning so I don't feel comfortable trying to support us on that yet. Some day. I also need to build up some capital so I can get away from the prop. All in due time. For now I need to work and do it on the side.

    My buddy in Scottsdale was just an average income guy. He married a multi-millionaire Chinese woman much younger than him. She made her money in the financial sector in China plus day trading. One of her homes is on Hainan Island where the Russians vacation. He said, "Yeah, that's true, they go topless on the beach."
