    Anything that fits in a 53foot dry box and under 45,000 lbs. But typically we haul expensive cargo...just keep that on the down low...

    We do door to door cargo out of Mexico into North American. It's a large but still small company about 500 trucks and over 1,000 trailers. We normally haul finished products out of Mexico and haul back raw materials back into Mexico. Our trailers cross the border but our trucks don't. We hire a Mexican trucking company to take our trailers deep into Mexico. So yeah hope that answers your question.

    Very true; sadly the four year degree has become quite common in the management arena. I know of a quite a few people with four year degrees doing their best to make $15/hour. Even worse; my mom has said many times that over the summer they had quite a few people with Master's degrees apply for cashier and stocker positions at Lowes. That is a really bad thing for the economy and college level education idea.

    If you plan on ever making much more than $15/hr then you're going to need to get a degree. The difference is you should research what you are getting into and make sure it is something you can enjoy and pay your bills with. Right now my little sister is working on a degree in Social Services. She is going to get at least $40k in loans to make around $35k a year if she is lucky. Not real good math is it? Find a field that is broad enough to move around inside of and in an environment that isn't going to go away. Good examples are energy, medical (not Dr but the techs make good money), IT, engineering.
