[QUOTE="SHOdown220, post: 16433639, member: 39652"] Good luck, I thought about doing it as my dad has driven my entire life. But I watched him leave the house at 1-2 a.m. and return home at 4-5 p.m, every day, 5 days a week. Thats a long ass day. Not to mention depending on what you are delivering, you are unloading your own shit. My dad drivers one of the large dump trailers, he delivers sand, rock, gravel, dirt, etc. In the winter water can get in and freeze, he climbs in the trailer with a shovel breaking it all up. He works for a company and drives their truck. He gets paid per load, which means pay can vary week to week. Company pays for fuel, insurance, maintenance etc, he just drives it. My father in law also drives but owns his truck, he is responsible for fuel, maintenance, repairs, insurance etc. He delivers flowers, I rode with him one night. We left at 7pm, drove 1 hour to pick up loaded trailer, drove another 6 hours to destination city. Once there we spent all night unloading carts full of flowers at 9 different drop sites. We returned home at 2 pm the next day. The flipside is my father in law chooses when and how often he works, if we wants a week off, no problem, if he wants to work as much as possible, no problem. He averages $30,000 (minus expenses) a month during busy season and typically takes off the month of july, as well as nov-feb. So there is money to be made with the right gig and work ethic [/QUOTE]
