3 yrs exp, but left trucking 4 yrs ago making $120K+, where do I pick up?

LMAO, that video is epic! CRE is big time since I left. Mormon city no more!

The only reason I stayed with England is because basically I started there, and the money was good. Not sure I want to go back to them, as we all know they are a great starter company, well to me anyways.

 

Ya, I know the refresher is like 30 days or whatever it is nowadays (lol, I use to give the refresher training)... $2 dollar freight at Schneider sounds great, but one thing I learned out on the road is MILES, MILES, MILES!!! Unless they are paying $2 with lots of miles?

I honestly just don't feel like going back to England, not sure why, as I feel with 3+ years experience I should be able to get a job at a much more "respectable" company!

 

I'll check Frey out, never heard of them though.

How much did you get it for? Funny thing is, one of my plans when I get back out on the road is to save up about $150K , then lowball about 100-500 homes that are asking $250K-$300K, and see who takes the bait! Only homes where the owner is out-of-state of course! Instant $100K-$150K equity.

I do regret not buying property when I was with CRE and had money to buy a few properties. Oh well, can't dwell on the past.

 

I have basic coding skills, as I just started self-teaching myself about 3 months ago, building a few websites and learning as I go. I am also taking about 4 online classes at the moment, in python, data science, and a few others to hone my skills.

I do believe this is the future for me, and this is the biggest debate I am facing. I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to just get to the Silicon Valley area and just get a started job doing something, anything, even if I'm not making much money, just to start networking and being with like minded people.

On the other hand, I am flat broke, and making money out on the road, would give me to invest in an opportunity or business. Do I follow my heart, or follow the money. The choices in life are so tough sometimes. The only good thing about this conundrum is I love Ramen noodles. With 2 eggs and some Tabasco added, its the best!

I honestly just want to do a whole paradigm shift into finding a any job in the valley and going from there, but at the same time it is hard to deny that making money OTR would give me opportunity to invest and possibly hire people, as I do want to start a startup eventually, and get an product/idea I have designed and brought to market in the next few years.

 

Holy mother of god... That might be one of the most impressive lowballs I ever seen. Guessing this was during the RE bubble of 2008-2011? How much equity did you walk away with? Surely the house wasn't worth 500K when you bought it, or was it?
