My son gave it a try. The days of double log books are over. Everything is GPS monitored. With speed limits, mandatory down time, etc he found he couldn’t make money as a solo driver.
Don’t know if it is true, but that is what he told me.
He’s telling you the truth. The GPS stuff started around 2006. FEDEX pushed it. And if he has a partner, he has to split everything so he’s still not making any money.
I was bringing in as much as $10,000 a month then all of a sudden I wasn’t getting good runs. I’d sit and sit and then finally get a run of 200 miles. I saw the writin’ on the wall. I only drove for 10 months.
Snakebite, I had no idea about the rules for CDL license. I don’t drink but I guess I’d better get rid of it.
It’s true -
