The cyclic nature of the economy, if you can ride the market back up after a decline, most people recover most of any perceived lost value of an asset. During that time you get to use the asset or earn with it. Because a person only loses money if you sell an asset below the purchase price.pumpkinishere, Crusader66, Another Canadian driver and 6 others Thank this. -

I went to be a company driver at a private carrier. But didn’t sell the truck and trailer, its my security blanket.

I gotta say I could continue. I don’t run far or make a ton per week. Money wasn’t the most important from the start. It was the schedule and doing things MY way.
I loaded late Tuesday and will be home tomorrow night. Slept at home 3 days during that stretch. Made decent money too. It’s not doom and gloom. I just want to step away……..mostly because of people. And this ####### truck.austinmike, pumpkinishere, Crusader66 and 11 others Thank this.
