    Well I got some news.

    As you all know I have had my own Authority for almost 2 years now. Life’s been good. Truck from SFI is a few months from being paid off.

    My decision is needed on a hot topic. I have been pulling loads out of a cheese place in Wisconsin. They have a very select group of private company drivers. I’m not going to name the company. They have 40 trucks in there very high profile branded custom trucks and trailers. They hire the best of the best. Not only do you have to be a skilled driver you need to be a brand ambassador also. These trucks work 4 days a week and off 3. You drive, deliver and may come back empty. They wash the trucks every week on return. It’s your truck all brand new with matching trailers. You report to one person. They pre load you , fuel you, etc.

    Pay is over 120 grand a year. Bonuses over 12 more. Benefits as good as congress. I applied I’m in. Do I take it?

    I’m so conflicted. For the last 3.5 years I have ate sleep and spent almost every waken moment thinking about this truck and the bottom line. Don’t get me wrong I love it.

    So the question is what would you do?

    Thanks in advance

    I’d take it.
    You have several less headaches, health insurance and do not have to worry about the ebb and flow of rates.

    i Would give it a trial run for a couple of months, before I let everything go. So, the answer would be yes.

    That’s a lot of money and a lot of hometime.
    TAKE IT or at least try it.

    Keep the responses going. Thanks to all of you.

    You can choose to run local after you get back for them if you want for extra money. You use your same tricked out truck.
