did you know that just to HIRE a driver and put him on the road costs about $5k... and sometimes a driver quits 2 days later. That money doesn't get refunded.

did you know that my last company I drove for had a 1 million dollar insurance policy on me and the rest of their 400 drivers?

My tractor alone cost $150,000.... that's not including the trailer or any of the fees that must be paid before it's operable. Sometimes newbie drivers go out and total these rigs in their first week. Along with the half million dollar load that was riding in the trailer.

God help you if you have a hazmat spill or a road fatality.....

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

the shipping rates are actually quite low considering all these things.
