Owner Operator leased onto a company that trains noobs, can you train also? How so?

Sorry you type faster than me I was editing read it again please

 

yes, and I answered your question perfectly well. you have always been paid by the mile, you have a mileage mentality. it cant be helped. its all you have ever known.

it IS also the reason lease purchase deals continue to exist, the fact that you have to run a certain amount of miles to break even, then more on top of that to make a check.

I gave you the secret of life, but you are too blind to see it. I will post it again in caps.

RUN THE LEAST AMOUNT OF MILES FOR THE MOST REVENUE . switch to a revenue mentality vs mileage mentality.

more loads do not necessarily mean more money

your costs go up the more miles you run.

what you don't understand and take offense at, is some of us are giving you barebones non-sugarcoated advice, you take it as insult, when it is simply a to the point advice.

the best advice is always straightforward and to the point, again I give you another nugget secret of life.

now lets see your reaction to that.

I will tell you like I tell my kids when they ask why I am always telling them what not to do, its like this.::::::

whatever you are simply thinking about screwing up, I have already screwed up successfully, not once, but twice even.

 

Who's going to trust a green newbie on a critical load? And how often would such a situation arise? I can't even recall it in my own operation. If I'm out of hours I'm burnt and don't even care what's posted. I can't imagine trying to sleep in my truck while some greenie that can't read a road map is supposed to just take over the truck and do everything right. You're either a team operation or not. Going out here working spot with some cheap labor in the passenger seat, just in case, strikes me as odd and unworkable. There's your answer. That's why no-one except for cut rate bottom feeders even do it.

 

"...rollin coal...That's why no-one except for cut rate bottom feeders even do it..."; gotta learn good form somewhere...aint learned by talking

 

again, your reading comprehension is lacking. I know they pay percentage, but YOU!!! are thinking in a mileage mentality. its simple to figure out when you state the more you run the more you make.

that thinking rates right up there with "" the fasteri drive, the more loads I haul, the more money I make.""""


again I offer this, print out what I have posted here , kep it, refer back to it in 5 years and you will then think I am a genius.


same thing as I did with my parents, as a teenager I thought they were the two stupidest people in the world, turns out as I got older they were amazingly smart.

 

which is what everyone else here tried to tell you, mores miles do not equal more money .


now let me give ya something else to think about, why not instead of drive it til the wheels fall off mentality, try a drive maybe 80,000 a year and gross 180,00 to 190,000 a year, or even as some on hear do 50,000 miles while doing 125 to 150,000 a year. you know avg less than 2,000 miles a week and over 2.00 a mile

in stead of 150,000 miles a year at 1.50 avg ????????

guess who makes more money???


quit being so defensive , young grasshopper and you will learn.


I have raised five kids they are 34 down to 17, I am used to arguing with hardheads,lol.
