    I just got extremely lucky and I know it. I did all the things wrong that people warn about that cause failure. I was broke, I had a limited choice of trucks and the pay scale wasn't great. I got lucky that my truck was good to me and I never went home..and I was still struggling. Then 6 months in I was given the opportunity to dispatch myself off a load board and run on percentage. That was a game changer and I once I discovered the lanes to run I became very profitable paid off the truck. Had I had a major breakdown in the first year I would have been screwed.

    My next truck will be what I should have done in the first place. Put a nice down payment on a 2-3 year old truck and be the truck that I want.
