    Sometimes it's better to just get out from under all the debt and hassle. Take your losses, learn from them, and move on,
    Either way, good luck to you.

    I posted a question about buying my own truck and attempting to go out on my own on this forum a while back. A few very experienced owner operators gave me the advice basically stating that the truck is the last thing you worry about. You get the truck last after you form a sound business model and know exactly where your revenue and all your expenses are coming and going from. Then you get the truck. It sounds like you did the opposite.
    In my opinion, you need to scrape together a business model quick and get those trucks moving to create some revenue.

    Why not lease them on with like landstar?

    Why buy 2 new trucks in Alberta? So much iron is going to auction in this province you could have picked up half a dozen gently used ones for what 2 new ones are worth.
