More Bad News.....

I've never seen a market so bad that I couldn't at least find one single run that paid my weekly bottom line and got me back home empty. I'm knocking on wood and hoping I never see times that bad. They would have to be REALLY bad for that to happen to me. I live in a great freight area, have good connections and extremely low overhead.

I have spent this boom setting myself up to sit for at least a year if need be and I've rebuilt pretty much everything on my truck along with 18 brand new virgin tires so I'm pretty optimistic I can ride out nearly anything at this point.

 

Thanks...
I'm new. I'm watching and learning. I have still loans to pay off and other expenses. I need a security blanket for now. Once things ease, I might change things how I see them. There is always take or give...

 

You will also be shunned.

 

We are the same way, no debt when he completes school. And the girl thing is already going on. Hoping he goes away to school and it cools off.

 

I'm used to it! Been running against the grain since birth.

 

I'll bet you a dollar to a donut that there's somebody out there going..y'know this looks like the perfect time to go get my own authority..

 

Companies come and go that’s business. If you tried waiting for the perfect timing you’d never step out. If you don’t over leverage yourself trucking can be very good to you. It has been for me.

 

Greedy corporations and politicians paved the way for our dependency on communist China and they have been playing the long game all along.

 

Yeah I’m starting to sniff out a conspiracy of some sorts. We’re going on three years now and they still can’t produce enough vehicles for people to buy. A sales manager at a large car dealership confided in me that they’re actually making more money right now than they did selling three times the cars. They have agreements with the manufacturers to only produce cars with certain items on them that create a massive markup. I.e. a 22,000 MSRP car you’ll pay 32,000… The dealer used to make about 2500 on that transaction now they’re making about 6000. This can go on for as long as it can as far as they’re concerned.

The other thing that cracks me up as we continually hear almost every day about the coming food shortage. Why is there gonna be a food shortage? What’s gonna change and what’s gonna happen? There’s nothing in the forecast for this other than they’re going to make it happen. That’s what’s going on.

 

This mean your not buying my truck? I mean if it's a deal breaker, I can change my t-shirt, stains will still be there though. I get very animated when I eat spaghetti. I'll also put on the fancy flops. I got them bedazzled by a lot lizard. I thought we had a deal, now you hit me with this...

LOL
