    Thanks Jarhed, i used to own my own business although it was'nt trucking related. I think most business princibles should carry over to anything, i mean no matter what your doing the main idea is to make a profit, the more the better, lol. I have missed owning my own business, and am realy looking forward to being a part of the family here.:biggrin_25514:

    A glass business in northern California. I was a sub-contractor out there before the market went to hell and they quit building houses, held on as long as i could ( hindsight a little too long ) then lost everything. Like a lot of people i figured, ill go drive a truck that'll solve all my problems, lol!:biggrin_2559:

    Not driving right now. Got out in July of last year to run my Ins Brokerage full time. I love the money, but I can't help but to stare at trucks.

    :biggrin_2554:

    This is an addiction, and I guarantee I'll be back in the seat at some point. I'm just making a bunch of money right now as a broker and have an 8-year old to spank.... I mean be around for at the moment. But once I get a few bucks put away, and the demon-seed is old enough to run around without getting arrested, I'm back out there. It's inevitable.

    Obviously, when I do go back, it'll be to eventually run my own gig. Being that I have messy credit right now, I'm going to have to lease with JCT or do a Lone Mountain purchase to get going after a year at another reefer carrier.

    (I just ran down the road to a truck stop six miles the wrong way to get coffee after an appointment. What does that tell ya?)
