that's the tough part of the o/o - l/o "game". Guys like GM had a good plan and executed it to the best of his ability, and it just was not enough to keep him in the game. Perhaps if his wife was willing to "ride along" that would have alleviated the sting of being away from your loved ones for so long. (no mention of children?) Also people outside of trucking will never understand how you can run a load 3000 miles and come out owing $180. kids will never understand why you have to run for several months straight to stay in business when the guy next door is home every night and weekends. Wife will for a while, but...... lesson, if you have a family, don't do it even if they say its ok. if your single and unencumbered, and can dedicate yourself for a lease term (the whole term) you can be successful. its a different world out here guys. Don't expect regular folk to understand..... Good luck GM and don't give up on the idea, just do it at a better time, (and see if you can talk the wifey into a CDL) god bless....

Driving in a 7 on 7 off fleet now. Still trucking.
darthanubis and daf105paccar Thank this. -
Nice gunmetal. So you run for 7 days then your off for 7? Or you run for 7 weeks then get 1 week off. 1 day off for every week out kinda thing?
darthanubis Thanks this. -
Who are you with now? I think you was with Celadon after you left the tanker division but not sure. Hope you are doing well.
