I have a front seat row to witnessing the downfall of an independent. I tried telling this guy. Don’t buy a second truck when you have not paid off the first one, and he just got recently divorced. I just came back to our little yard, and this guy is flexing his brand new Mercedes Benz.
Other than the shiny car, *Facepalm*. I don’t know what else to say. The old school truckers told me that personal expenses is a 1 way ticket to failure, I never understood that, till now.
How much of a burden are personal expenses?

This is why the failure rate is so great.
Dave_in_AZ and Brettj3876 Thank this. -
The question is why do you care?
worrying about what other people spend money on is pointless, it doesn’t affect you in any way and some people learn by making mistakes rather than others telling them they are making a mistake. -
