    The money doesn’t trickle down to the driver, it stops in the middle. Know your numbers and you’ll figure out you can’t sustain a business on BS pay. I’m talking about owners who own their truck nothing else.

    When is the next shut down?

    Truck 3 is starting soon, and I'm certain, no I'll bet my paycheck against any of yours, he would rather participate before he starts pulling his own loads.

    I have the Hibachi on the truck, and left my chains at home.

    I should be empty Friday with my load home, so I'm up for it after that, but please let me know before I commit to another load.
     
    JoeyJunk and Scooter Jones Thank this.

    I want freight so I can profitably drive a truck with a moose bumper. No more staring into the darkness at the edge of my headlights, looking for the tiniest hint of eyeballs staring back.

    No. Instead I will be going " Don't move sucker. Stay right there."
     
    JoeyJunk Thanks this.

    Two problems I see.
    1 Moose eyes do not shine, so you just smack them before you see them. lol
    2 close to half the time the moose totals the truck with the moose bumper anyway, just not as bad. lol
