Should I or shouldn't I, that is the question!

I know of a couple who does that. She drives a drive-away RV, he has a haul-n-tow. They get loads to the same region, and ride back togther to get the next load. They seem to be doing pretty good with that set up.

 

Hard to say.

If this is just to get out of the house and do something different I don’t think I’d do it.

If you want to be a business man and have aspirations to truly dive in deep and make this your world then go for it. My guess is to be as profitable as you want you’d need to be away from home more then you’d like. The team thing might work though if she’s into it.

 

I'm not even going to read the responses, get hold of yourself, man, buy a classic car, go fishing with no bait on the hook, sell the Fl. tax pit, and buy an RV, but go into trucking? It's not that much fun, trust me.

 

all those trucks have at least 500,000 miles, which may or may not be a lot by todays standards...but THEY ALL have PACCAR engines......aren't those problematic...??????

 

If you want to go out and play trucks why not drive for somebody first? No monetary investment, no real penalty if you fail.
You might find out that trucking isn't what you thought it would be without tying up a bunch of money.

 

Most, if not all, replies are telling you to avoid trucking with your situation. Why not give it another six months. Look for an alternative to trucking that will fit with what you and your wife want to accomplish. If nothing else, look into a temp company and drive part time to make up for the time your wife wants off. Again, with your situation, very few will tell you to buy a truck with the mess this industry is in now.

 

It's your life, your wife, and your money! Do what you want to do.

 

You could just sell some of those toys and not work at all?
