SHORT TERM LEASES, (6 month)

We’re both in our 50s. I respect that you have more experience in this industry than I ever will. If you think this post was helpful, you’re mistaken. Perhaps you could explain what you think we will gain by waiting.

 

Why do we want to go owner operator?

1. we want our own truck. When we buy, and we will, I will probably send it to ARI to get the bathroom shower modification. I already have quotes on this and understand what it does at the feet of the mattress. This is a creature comfort that will make our lives extremely better as team operators. Right now we’re showering 1 to 2 times a week because we need to keep moving and being delicate flower We like to shower every day.

2. we like trucking together. This is something we’re going to keep doing but I don’t see you doing it past 60 years old. This gives us at most seven years to maximize our opportunities.

3. Reasons.


I’m a grown ### man. I don’t make spur the moment decisions. I don’t make any decisions that affect our lives greatly especially financially without doing a ton of research. I was just asking if anyone on here had experience with short term leases or rentals because someone had mentioned it to me. That doesn’t mean I’m leaning that way or I’m going to do that. Honestly, I think our best option when we’re ready will be buying a used tractor with a couple hundred thousand miles of warranty left on it. But that doesn’t mean I’m not going to look at all the options so I don’t feel like an idiot who missed out on a better option later.

I appreciate the concern, I appreciate the feedback. I would also appreciate it if anyone has experience with short term, rental, or leasing could chime in on this thread.

 

I won’t disappear. As long as I’m in the industry, I plan to be a part of this board and contribute however, I can.

if at the end of the day all we end up with is an HDT to pull up large RV across the country then so be it.
