>I'm probably not in a position go independent. Aren't trucks like 12 zillion dollars? I'll have to check into the broker thing. I heard on NPR recently that there were many jobs with good pay for driving truck. Just got me interested and I figured now is as good a time as any. Have no idea about training and licensing and all that yet.

Not to mention the cost of obtaining your (in the UK) HGV - heavy goods vehicle - licence. In th ecase of the Swedish beach volleyball team you'd probably need your PSV (public service vehicle) licence to carry human cargo.
