    Update...

    Just got home after working 9 days straight. Great 9 days, no complaints as far as revenue goes..

    Truck is running great. Planning on getting centramatics installed and new shocks as well...

    I had a couple of empty trailer moves put on me by cs. I did one and refused the other, no biggie..

    I've noticed rates overall are still going down but I did see rates on some loads go up last week..

    All in all, Choice is still the best option for me based on where I live, other jobs available in the area, and the money I am making...

    Roll on....

    Two weeks since last update... So here's another one...

    Home 2 days, worked 1.5 days, home 2 days, worked 1.5 days, home 1 day, worked 3.5 days...

    Now I'm at home for at least two weeks as we close on our new house and move 1/2 mile up the road...

    Had a great two weeks of revenue, no complaints. I actually pulled the most profitable load I've ever done during my last time out...

    Stay safe and as always...

    Roll on...

    19 days at home ends on Tuesday. Moved into the new home, but still tons of work to do...

    Picked two loads to make the truck payment for the week, then back home for a bit. Will try to go out again before turkey day. Don't like having to make my truck payment out of the bank account..

    Life on Choice, sigh...

    Roll on.....
     
    scythe08 Thanks this.

    That's the tough part of the whole lease dealy do......ya gotta run. Which I guess is one of the reasons they do them and don't care that much about pure owners. But, you'll be ok. Rock on brother.....

    True...

    I've done very well this year, financially I could take the rest of the year off but I can't stomach making all those truck payments out of the bank account...

    I'm in Green bay this Monday 11/16 so should be on the road Thursday or Friday so you should be getting an easy truck payment soon.

    Has anyone found out what the deal is with the new rules starting Tuesday about the time starting when thewheels start to move? I do not know what that will do to someone who is on a brak and wanting to get truck worked on or washed. Hope someone can enlighten me on the situation.
