    I'm working for F2F, why is that funny????
    LOL
    These low life's never die, they just procreate.
    Which is why trucking has been a fool's game from day one.

    I did alright.
    But I got lucky.

    Yes looks like the big mistake people make is they see the figures of between $6500 - $8500 get all excited but forget to then deduct the payments down below of 15 %, $950, $350, and $35 subtract those and their worse off than a company driver, although some of those fees may be tax deductable. Note no fuel costs are included or on going repairs to the truck. A 130 gallons of diesel per day @ $5.50 per gallon adds another $715 x 6 if you drive 6 days per week for a grand total of $ 4290.

    It's called math.
    Something many of these guys are unfamiliar with.

    You should see how many of these guys are on Facebook in CDL employment groups every day thinking they are worth $2500/week fresh out of school (that's $130k) or Chicago 1099 scammers telling them they will get 4000-6000 miles every week.

    Simple math, folks. Your teachers told you it would come in handy someday.

    Actually that was more gobbledygook than math.

    True that. I made that fresh out of school. I leased and lease/purchased many and did it on contract $0.91/mi and zero fuel discounts and zero any discounts. And zero benefits, I paid for everything full price as if it was my carrier.

    Plain bitterness and negativity is all that was.
