Guys, I wouldn't worry about this too much. You'll learn some of this while you're with your trainer and the rest you'll learn out on the road. You'll master the ways of maximizing driving time to maximize profits with time. Trying to figure this out without actually doing it yourself is a challenge. But believe me, there are a million other things more important that should be on your mind instead.
Kevins post cracked me up. I know the feeling. You're right Daniel, there are, in fact, plenty of other things to concentrate on. I think with what has been posted I have enough of a handle on it to make a good beginning. Thanks Gents.
Happy dog how you like that school up there? I went to a place in tampa that was a joke. Career tech. But i got my lisc and a job so we will see. I ran with an o/o for a few years back in the day. I loved it. So im back behind the wheel. More blogs to come. Good luck driver!
