Hey Daniel I am in NY, the position is for the Brooklyn terminal, recruiter called from a North Carolina number. Appreciate the offer Thanks

If you do get back with them you better go linehaul. You don't want to be doing P&D in Brooklyn

Hello. I am planning on opening a restaurant with some family members. I am trying to do some research on how I would go about this. I know nothing about the restaurant business nor have I ever cooked besides the occasional Top Ramen. It's hard to find good and specific information on this. A lot of what I saw was talking about simply buying the restaurant and hiring cooks, and not being too involved. Essentially most people are looking for a source of passive income. This is not what I want to do. I would like to manage everything related to owning a restaurant, except the cooking, cleaning, serving and the recipes. I would love to work from home, but of course don't mind if I have to get out and network with the cooks I hire. What is the best approach for this type of business, where we buy the restaurant, handle operations, and hire cooks? The plan is to succeed with one restaurant and buy a second one. Rinse and repeat. Easy money. I would like to do it full time, and as long as I can get paid $2500+ with the one restaurant, it would be perfect. Would appreciate any and all advise. Also, if someone with experience owning a restaurant wouldn't mind sparing a few minutes for a conversation, it would be much appreciated, thank you

Yes its true but you'd have to eat a ton of it for it to show up

My wife is a dispatcher for an OTR company consisting of mostly O/O's which are a lot more difficult to dispatch than a company driver.

The key is you need to start at a small mom n pop company and work your way up. My wife started with a company of about a dozen drivers and she was there for 6 years and she just recently moved to a a larger company that doubles her pay.

My students never shift into 5th gear to make a turn and they all passed their test in CA which is super strict (well over 15 students at this point in my career). Take the turn in 6th gear at low RPMS. You're not loaded.

As far as getting in 5th - At 6th gear 1000 rpm is exactly 15mph. 5th gear 1000 rpm is 10mph, try to take yourself to exactly 10mph and rev to 1000rpm and put it in. Line up your speed with the gear to hit that sweet spot. The specs could be different in our trucks so it may not work though.

Which Regional Safety Manager are you testing with?

I drop my ttractor air bags at pickups a lot that don't have a dock. That way I get a nice downhill when I have to move the pallet to the front of my trailer with my pallet jack. I let gravity do the work for me.

Old Dominion is giving us Friday and Monday off. 4 day weekend for Christmas. Both Friday and Monday are paid.

I'm telling you my friends. Best company ever.
