So many in this industry just go with the flow. They are told they need a brand new truck. Told they need to take what they are offered for money on loads or worse running on a per mile basis as opposed to percentage of the gross. They often let others dictate their business only to be the only one suffering for the decisions of others. Your advice is correct. I always thought that was common sense. However some still think it's best to buy multiple brand new trucks and run hard for little money for success.....🤦♂️

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I drove over the road for 12 years, but always someone else's truck. I've been working on them for the last 18. I got hurt pretty bad in an accident about a year ago. I'm just getting over it. I have issues that will limit me on turning wrenches full time. So going back to driving seemed like a good option, but was thinking that this time it would be for me. Not someone else.

You need to make sure that you have a little savings before you start, Try to get a decent truck to start with, Know who’s gonna do your repairs, Have a support team for when you need a tow, Have your contacts/brokers you can trust, Know your bottom dollar (I thought your $4 per mile was good), Do you lease/buy a trailer, etc. You made some good points! Money can be made in trucking. It helps if you have an inside person...like your dad to help with contacts. Oh, it really helps if you can do a lot of your work! I’m not a Cummins lover, it I know some truckers that love the old BC Cummins! I do love the Freightliner though! Hope to get an update when you get back home. Why do you run the trucks 1 gallon low? I’ve never heard that one before. Good stuff!

I’ve been around trucks since I was honestly born. My entire family did and does it. My pap and uncles and dad as well as cousins and extended family. My pap at one time had about 6-10 trucks leased onto mcquaid. He was getting paid to have trucks available for Bethlehem steel in Johnstown pa in its heyday. He was getting huge money all the time. Times have changed so much. I grew up in cabover trucks. I literally learned to drive a big truck in a cabover international. It was a 10 speed at at the time. If I could take back time and build or buy a cabover it would be a 10/13/18 speed transmission. My dad always raved over a 13 speed. I can relay and agree to him. In my opinion a 18 speed is pointless, however I know there very popular. I’ve never ever met a person that splits the lower end of the transmission. No one ever splits the low side but maybe I’m crazy. I would absolutely love to drive one of your trucks. I grew up around them all and love them all. I could drive anything you have without a doubt and I’m not trying to be rude or sarcastic in any way. I love your trucks

There is something about a cabover tractor. European manufacturers have worked the bugs out and there will be further improvements. With battery tech l see them coming back. Chevrolet had an experimental wedge shaped truck called Turbo Titan III and Ford had a design that was tall as the trailer way back in the day, late 1960's I believe. They both were testing gas turbine engines. Those trucks fully loaded would accelerate like a car at a red light.
