Heavy Haul Driver Reporting High Earnings - Sound Realistic?

With the original 'topic' of this thread;

Heavy haul / specialty obviously DOES pay well. Extremely, and here's why: The responsibilities (FOR DRIVERS) and the expenses (for an O/O anyway) are HUGE.

Sure, it's risk to reward ratios, always is. Our only 'opportunity' just didn't tip the scales in our 'comfort' direction. I'll leave greed (as a motivator) to the politicians; BUT for those of y'all that DO this specialty hauling, I SURE DO WISH we had a thread. As great as a driver as I believe Tom to be, it's the aesthetics of H/H that may have been an issue. I'm being honest, yet nice . . . to my guy. (I'd say 'he's a lefty' as an excuse, but Brett would HAVE MY HIDE!) It's just not 'FOR' everyone, Harvey. It's there, sure. R/R/R. . . . remains. Always. You know this, as a very successful business man.

Robert B., Bird One, I know I'm missing a few. Even y'all fuel haulers. Daniel B., Suicide Jockey (I don't like that!) It's ALL specialty, non 'cookie cutter' IMHO. Tom's 'limb' was Tanks. It was great; paid well (better.) PJ's happy in that, too.

Re: Specialty Haulers of ALL KINDS: We sure COULD use a bit more 'chime' about that side. Agreed.

Hey Harvey, it's really nothing that Michael couldn't look into, in the future. Keep his DAC/PSP/CDL clean! Kivi is another excellent op, I'd forgot about, too. Transport National is 'my' go to . . . man, we thought on that HARD. TBH, the 'mental' strain on the guys doing all that H/H stuff, is almost like that of a Physicist. Tom's got his 'weak points.' I'll leave that there.

Best again, to all;

Merry Merry Merry !!!!

ps: For S's and G's ...... if MC has been driving a year, have him APPLY to TNT (Transport National.) What's to lose? Might be a LOT of time with a trainer, I'd think, but .... who knows? Heck, their Pilot drivers make bank. Do some research; I can bounce you some people's names; I've never looked at that Buzzfeed Salary link, but . . . I sure will. Just gotta get Ham Dinner and Pumpkin Pie (et al) beHIND me, hahaha!

Yeah, well I have four degrees and don't approach half of $200K yearly. That's a fact.

My father was illiterate even though he got an 8th grade diploma at age 16 but made more than that most years.
