Well, I guess I'm a trucker now. I hauled my first local load yesterday. It was a f'n disaster. My numbers are officially active today, so I'm going to start crossing state lines on Monday. I did this because of these two threads:
The journey begins - purchased a truck.
Change my mind
So now I'm in this because of you guys. This is not my fault, and I take no responsibility for my own actions. If you see someone swerving around on the interstate like an idiot, it's probably me.
I enjoy reading threads about your journeys, and figured another one wouldn't hurt. Hopefully one day this very thread might talk someone into or out of this decision.
I've got a 26' box truck right now. The plan is to learn the business, put a driver in this truck, and transition into a real truck with a flatbed trailer.
Wish me luck!
Respect my Authoritay!

You can make a great empire for your family and yourself with a small 26 footer. I did with a 24’ box truck. Easy to run circles around the big guys if you got the drive and ownership mindset. That is how I got respect and the handle “SmallPackage” from my Uncle and all the old hands.
