    He owned the equipment but had it parked in his back yard. Didnt make sense to me either, but he made the jump now and best of luck to him.

    Congratulations!

    My best wishes to you for a great experience on your own, steering your own ship. Quite the rush in my opinion.
    Take care out there!!

    Good luck. Hopefully your O/O thread is as entertaining as the others. It must have been tough to delay starting your operation with that truck sitting in the yard.

    not really, the economy and finances played a big role in wait'in. i explored the lease operator side w/ the company i was driving for, but i would have had too take money out of my pocket to haul their freight. so i kept where i was at and doing my best for them till i felt the timing was right to do it my way and on my terms without someone telling me i have to take this or that load.

    as for the money, yeah it's a sizable chunk of mula to get started, not to mention going without a income till some checks start coming in and financing the fuel.

    Did you lease on with someone or just go right out and get your own rights?
