OMG and they just keep on coming. Where is this trend coming from? Ive never seen so many people some how find their way into this sector of the industry.

And would you like to know what MY PROBLEM is about it? Let me expound upon it. As a “car hauler” rolling a 9 car stinger that I paid over $200k for Im slightly insulted when I read “I got a trailer for free so Im going to buy a pickup truck and become a car hauler, how much can I make?” crap.

Yes I admit Im pretty much a jerk about it all. It’s an insult to anyone who actually makes their career from hauling cars. Someone who has paid their dues with their own hard earned money. Someone that has made the mistakes and pushed through the adversity. Someone that has built a business out of years YEARS of hard work and quality service to their customers. Someone that deals with all the regulatory BS year over year over year. And I could go on and on. Then you come in here talking about your free trailer and being home every night and asking how much can you make?

Every one of you Johnny Come Lately’s always ask that question. How much can ai make? And I or anyone else on this forum with DECADES of experience will tell you it ain’t about what you make, it’s about what you keep. If you do not know your operating costs and what YOU personally need to pay your bills, what you make will never be enough.

Totally understand your pain and sacrifices man. Thanks what you are doing, even tho you mad at me for writing like this, I am not mad at you at all. So I can call myself an ignorant in this field. I have spent years in government jobs without earning much and now looking for ways to open my own business and earning more… this looked short cut for me, I guess I was wrong

You're not wrong and neither is he.
Opportunity is where you find it.
It's like me seeing 2 guys and an S-10 pulling a junk car into junkyard with a rope? WTF??
What overhead did he have? Borrow a rope?10 bucks gas?

Find a niche market that won't fly in the face of the bigger guys with invested seat time.
I did, many years ago, and they still give me a wave on passing in the opposite lane.
