    Who said anything about being a millionaire of 4 trucks? Who said $.40 cents a mile,? My timing is great, I’m buying at low price oil, I’m buying at low prices trucks, I’m buying in at low priced loads. I plan on paying drivers much more then that. Your assumptions are, as you say Piss Poor. I appreciate your input but my advice would be to assume less and just do!!!

    I think the aggravating factor for the skeptics in your plan was the 4 trucks part. A successful new company in a bad market generally minimized risks, and 4 trucks is like asking for extra risk,

    you are probably right but that’s over a years time when the election is over, fuel prices are back to normal, Americans back to work, virus sustained, freight loads back to normal levels. I am amazed on the negativity of an industry that will not die. Over the Road truckers will always be in high demand. How you are as a trucker is up to the individual. Anyone can get a CDL, but not everyone can keep, manage, or respect that CDL

    im excited for you to buy lots and lots of trucks and make a ton of money. Why only 4 trucks? Get 8 or 10, truck prices are falling. If Jeff B. can do it so can you. Please keep us updated here at your progress. If your interested in a nice pre ELD truck with Detroit 12.7 let me know.
