    I'd say 40% of the time it is husband and wife. Or driver and ride along helper. The other 60% of the time it is a single driver.

    That big old sleeper is there for a reason, the driver lives in it, literally in a lot of cases.
    I have found, that when you do find a niche that actually pays good and invest in the equipment to get it done, you generally have 6 months to 2 years before everybody thinks you are getting rich and come out of the woodworks lowering the rates.
