Must be self employed trucker as who else keeps a Freitliner at their house lol. Let me tell you, I've seen some of these guys pull down some serious money. I had a client that made about a half million a year, and another that were employees of company yet still pulling down close to 200K. I just find it funny that some people seem to look down on truckers like they don't make money or something....if they only knew

Not an easy detail by any means but you pulled it off, nice job sparkie. And surfer, I agree there are owner/operator truckers that make some very good money but they put in some long hard hours away from their homes and families, there's also even more owners who have to live in their trucks (keep them moving) in order to make money. Trucking isn't quite what it used to be.

Trucking isn't quite what it used to be.I knew one couple who their kid was already moved out, and wife and himself both drove the truck, made well over half a mil per year. But they were on the road a lot, except it was good since both of them drove together and their daughter was married so....
