Logistics is red hot
« on: July 10, 2018, 02:24:07 PM »
There is money to be made with a good reliable medium sized truck. Gross pay $3,600 a week net at 40 percent.. caveat get a diver that is willing to sleep on the road..if not do not get the damn thing ..I estimate this boom will run till mid next year

trucks are hard to maintain. where are you going to store it? you'd need a warehouse, maintenance fees etc.

Here you drive the truck for 14 hours..if you have two drivers they drive 24 hours ..I can park it in my driveway or rest area for free..yes maintenance is a killer
