Rookie starting my trucking career. From first thought to hopefully retirement.

PS. On my journey down here, mostly 95 south. Saw 13 Prime trucks, 6 Schneider, 6 swift and 4 western express. Those are the ones I picked out, had to watch the road as well.

 

Served the Demand for payment yesterday. Fact is, it is not about the money. I would rather have her default and just move out. That way I can get on with my life.

 

After my unexpected trip to DE to deal with my renters I have an update.

I had to physically show up and confront them and demand payment. After telling them the terms (the ones they should have met) I started the eviction process. This past Friday I went to the courts and presented my paperwork. I was informed that I could not file until Monday, 5 full business days. Ok, I will overnight everything Monday AM.

It seems lately that action on my part gets a response. While driving back to MA the renter's husband called me. In a nutshell; I have some of the money, not even close to what he owes me. 5 minutes of him trying to convince me why they have not paid I simply said, I want you out.

After he realized I was not bluffing he said, what can we do. I told him that his best option is to take the money he has and look for another place to live, now. I told him that he can walk away and I would forgo the money he owes me if he and everyone is out by the 4th of March. He agreed to it.

So hopefully I will be moving back to DE and forgetting the mistake I made. If all goes well I will be in a company class starting in April.

 

U4EA. Properties are a great investment, but to be successful you have to be there. My father owned property buildings and did well at it. I guess the apple falls far from the tree. My plan is to be present and have a renter. The laws in DE are fair to owner occupied, no pay, then get the FO.

Hitman. My house is in Newark, a stone throw away from 95, old baltimore pike.

 

The reason I am looking at Prime is because of the pet policy. There is no wiggle room, I have one and it is not an option. I have him set up with friends for the beginning.

I understand the pay for rookies, I have thought that through. Thankfully I have always lived well below my means and saved.
