Taking the plunge. My journey as an O/O.

Nah, I'm already getting plenty of time off now - and I only just got back on the road after home time.

I'll go crazy if I don't start driving again, soon.

 

I only had the truck for two tax years, so I think it was not yet fully depreciated. That's a three-year process I think?

But yes, I do expect that there will be taxes involved in the sale.

 

Update.

The truck has been decommissioned from the Crete Fleet - Peoplegarbage machine removed, Crete identifying labels, etc. Removed.

The Columbus terminal has a detailer that will clean up trucks, and I have hired them. They have work ahead of me, and expect to be finished by Saturday.

Ritchie Brothers will start processing my truck on Monday - the person I need to work with as a SC resident is on Vacation this week.

I've filled out all the paperwork needed to flip from the o/o side of Crete to the Dry van side.

Yes, I have hauled reefer for nearly six years, but it's time to try dry van, and this transition is a good time to do it.

I will need to buy a battery powered blower and a couple brooms, but that should be all I need for most cleanouts. More than that and I'll have to see how Crete wants to deal with it.

Anyone have suggestions about brand and model of leaf blowers that run on batteries?

Bonus points if they are designed to charge batteries directly off 12v receptacles.

 

Random thought for the day.

You know you might be a bit OCD when almost every pen you own meets the same fate...
