I have been driving for a year over the road.I am still learning as i go.no i have not made 75 grand .i have made about 45 grand i try not to make the same mistake twice.getting beter at backing up my time management is beter than when started i not meeting dispatch expectation but i log as do it so have a log that so far has stood up to inspection.not to sure if the concept is to hard to figure out.do not count the day i load and reload.for every 10 hrs of time pro miles says for driving to do trip add 10 hrs.i am usually close to that. I have seen some nice country and am enjoying it for the most part

Good for you Wayne. I remeber when you 1st went to school. Trying to find the right co. for you.
Remember 1 thing, you will never know everything about this industry. No one does. It changes in seconds every day. You will always learn something knew. Never close the door to knowledge.
So glad Pat is running with you.

Not.....the Canadian dollar was worth::
Currency Rate, CAD vs. USD 0.9000


So the US dollar as worth $1.00 / .90 = $1.1111

I had close to ten years under my belt much of it mountain driving, I smoked my brakes halfway down a mountain in Ut. the rest of the way was a real white knuckler with a pantyscraper at the end. It happened because I was used to the route and had lulled myself into a false sense of security.
