<p>[QUOTE="oldedge, post: 1424502, member: 45021"]I have done this kind of work in years past. I am not familiar with the companies mentioned but they are all about alike. It looks like you could make decent money doing this but you can't. The devil is in the details. $.70 cents a mile sounds pretty good til you learn that you have to buy the fuel. Then you learn that they will almost always drain the tanks before they give you the truck. Then you learn that you have to get back at your on expense with no pay to get the next trip. That is the one that breaks you. Plus they nickel and dime you to death. Oh the man was right. I did this about 20 years ago and they were paying $.65 a mile then[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
