    No I’m for hire, Pay isn’t something we like to discuss…….it’s not for everyone.

    Lot of times we show up to a strange place dig around to find paperwork, pens and lights. Load a mixed bag of half cripple or all crazy cows/bulls in the middle of the night by ourselves. Keep them separate and cut out own load. Then run a 1000 miles before laying down while keeping a strict appointment time. It’s not truckin

    I’m in the process of getting them ready. I own two of my own now and that’s more than alot folks can say. They’re gonna work, just like the end dumps, hoppers and lowboys. B5FF3655-A25C-44FA-BD57-5FC45C7582ED.jpeg 65C807A5-5B1A-45B1-A7D4-408F99591177.jpeg

    Nope, mine was 23k last year and still 23k this year.
    Progressive will be the only one that might insure you.
     
    Sub Marino Thanks this.

    Just get some real OTR experience before you try to lose you hard earned money.

    Isn't that equals to like 80K per year for the truck, the trailer, and the insurance payment?
