Schneider's "FreightPlace Database" versus "IC Choice Load Board"

Run it as a business and not a bigger payday and you'll do better. When you're not home driving your pick up truck the payment is still due so just because a payment is due that's not a reason to not do something. If you can't manage money that's the reason not to do it.

 

And your on the road working making that money to pay those bills. If your truck isnt rolling its not making money.

 

Or work 4-5 days a week and take off 2-3 days and STILL make more money than a company driver.....
I'm doing it.....
It can be done.....
Just saying......

 

So do I somewhat,because I was making .50/mile 20 years ago working nights/weekends.Run till you out of hours.
Now I go in at 4am M-F with weekends and holidays off, home every day and something to be said for that.

 

Even though i dont have a truck payment. I think i could survive leasing a truck through SNI. I dont want a huge truck payment. I like taking time off..lol

 

It's really no different than a company driver. They don't get paid if not rolling. Their personal expenses at home keeps on going. It comes down to how long you can afford to stay home. It's all about money management and planning.
