How much was is your truck?

I know it but isn’t it just sad! The depreciation is such bs. Cars same thing, you trade it get 6k for it, next person buys it for 8k and drive off the lot worth 5k lol.

 

Wow you had over 200k cash just sitting around?! I’m guessing you been an o/o for a while. Eventually my goal would be to get that financially sound. But being a current company driver trying to buy a first truck it would take me umm let’s see 33.33 years I’m 37 now so I’d be dead by the time I’d have that cash as a company driver lol

 

Unions suck glad I live in the Midwest where there is barley any. I don’t need benefits my wife has a great job with great Benefits. I don’t plan on living long enough to retire not to mention Being only 37 there will be no retirement for my generation. I’m guessing we will also collapse before I’m retirement age anyway lol

 

Prostar haha ugliest cheapest pile of junk ever created. Intertrashonal as I call them are definitely a dime a dozen but are only worth a penny a dozen. International in the old days were ok but not anymore. Only owner operators that run them were flip flops and drive a camel majority of life. Lol sorry had to.

 

Exactly. It’s not that you can’t make an ok living as a company driver and guys that are content doing so that’s great for them. Unfortunately some of us crazies have entrepreneurial spirt, business minded tendencies and we love eat and breath trucking that is myself. I know 100% that this was Gods plan for me. Excel for growing up on my fathers livestock farm the only jobs iv had were driving a truck or working for a dealership selling truck parts. To be honest I would be perfectly fine with only making 10k more a year than I do as a company driver. It would be more fulfilling for me to be the boss run my own business and have the truck I wanted run where and when I want to and know if I don’t make it that it’s on me. I have always succeeded more when it’s more on myself.
