Busy Week

Based on the number of miles and freight we have run it is clear Walmart is doing GREAT! Maybe it is Easter that is behind the big push but it clear the past few weeks have been profitable for Walmart ... and profitable for anyone supplying product or services to Walmart. What recession?

Truck driving

Last year I knew I needed to make a career change, it was becoming clear the other company I worked for had no solid plans of growing and increasing its customer base ... I started to examine all my options and came up with a career in trucking. Living on the road is not for everyone, but I enjoy it ... once I get my own truck and my feet firmly grounded in the trucking industry is should get even better.

Quick math tells me it is a good way to save money too. You can easily spend $1,000 a month on home expenses (cable, water, gas, electric, lawn care, house payment, interest, insurance, taxes, etc etc etc) ... but that expense does not exist in trucking ... once some up front expenses are addressed trucking saves you 10s of thousands of dollars each year.
