I haven’t posted in a while. Just figured I’d pop in and say hey. The company I was with closed there doors, it was a sad day for everyone. Took the first job I could get and now I’m delivery milk to the grocery store. Still trying to decide what is actually next for me. Fuel hauling? Cryo? Another ltl? Buy a truck? I’d like some other points of view. 3 years clean record all endorsements.

Any of those on your other thread look interesting?
I was on the other forumMe1994 Thanks this. -
Pulling boxes (reefer &/or dry van) is boring work -- & no one is happy to see you, when you reach your destinations. Bumping docks & dealing with most warehouse employee types is pretty much the bottom of the barrel.

Try hauling fuel, instead.
It's easy work (once you get the hang of it), you're home every day -- & it's good money...IF you get on with a private fleet.
After a while, if you decide hauling fuel is not for you, no worries -- if you stay with fuel long enough, & with a clean safety record -- your fuel experience will later open up A LOOOOTTT of doors for you, elsewhere.
STAY FAR AWAY -- from buying or leasing a truck. Get A LOT MORE experience, first.
