Scrapr ★ Posted February 21, 2019 Share #2 Posted February 21, 2019 Truckers don't get no respect at the Truck stop. Read that in The Long Haul what's your CB handle? Couch is already taken. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlecan ★ Posted February 21, 2019 Share #3 Posted February 21, 2019 Even at the top end of that scale, operating a vehicle and hiring help to move the large items will leave you with less than nothing. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how uber and lyft drivers make any money. Operating a nice newish vehicle costs roughly $.50/mile. They seem to really undercharge. (Don't tell them that!)

I know a few people who thought that they were going to make a killing in owner - operator trucking. Two or three years later they threw in the towel with less money than they started with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way to make a small fortune in trucking is to start with a large fortune and work your tail off. The faster you work, the faster that large fortune will diminish. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
