    Well after the first week in our truck it feels real good making our first $10,000 :biggrin_255: and not getting pimped out of money by other owner operators who are thieves. The Oakland CA shipping port is a mess, trucks with oversea containers are everywhere.

    That feeling gets so much better when you no longer have a truck payment. Then goes away when the larger repairs start coming in.

    Just wait until you have a motor, transmission, or rearend go down. Thats when being an owner operator sucks.
