    My goal is to run hard OTR. I have a long term goal and would like to save 80K so regardless of her she is now irrelevant

    One would think so on paper but truck stops have a way of sucking the life out of your paycheck. We all swear to buy our own food and eat in the truck, stay away from hotels and always sleep in the truck, stay out of casinos, etc.. But that rarely happens and is all talk except maybe for a select few with an iron will and Marine discipline.

    You can do it, but not week to week.
    You have to have a serious, dedicated, hard nosed plan.
    You'll live like a dog.
    Eat sandwiches in the truck.
    Have just an antennae on your tv.
    A simple, SIMPLE lifestyle.

    It's all about choices.
    The first one is to get started.
    The next is do you really wanna live that hard.
