    Hey folks.

    Wow, what a lot of great info and helpful people.

    I drove for 6 years hauling mostly flat bed all over US and Canada. Looking to get back into it running just in Ontario, Canada.

    First truck we owned was a 2000 Freightliner Classic. Drove that for five years then got into a Company truck - 2006 WesternStar Low Max. Then the bottom fell out of the income.

    We have been running our own cleaning business for the last year and a half.

    Call of the road!!

    I am just waiting for clearance from the company's insurance provider. The job is paying pretty good, I hope it all falls into palce.

    I have a truck picked out that I am looking really hard at, but I don't want to buy anything untill the job pans out.

    Thanks again!
