Okay guys, rather than trying to make a living delivering for CW, could a person just cover his expenses, including truck payment making one delivery a month?
no...not as I see it from my previous experience and talking with my brother...Here is his advantage...and it was mine when I hauled motor homes...He lives 1/2 way between the shipper in Indiana and most of the deliveries in North and Western Ontario, Canada.

He uses the trailer deliveries to keep some cash flowing between construction jobs...he has said many times that he could never do it full time and make any money
