    Wives are great, while your successfull and wealthy, you know you have a good one, when they stick around, when you have nothing.
    Not many good wives around, the men, just dont know it yet.

    My wife is a keeper. We got married while I was a junior officer in the Navy and she's used to me being gone for long stretches of time. And with my airline job being gone for a week at a time, I'd like to combine a hobby, for lack of a better term, with being with her. She likes to ride when we go for trips in our RV, so this would be similar except that we'd be getting paid.

    Buy a business class truck,and move rvs around the country.
    Im sure you could hire a driver, to teach you the skills, to pass a cdl test.
    Its great if you can afford to buy a truck and insurance, without dealing with the lease bs.

    Thanks, but I've always dreamed of a big rig, like a Pete 379 or KW900 all decked out.

    Over rated, puny doors, windows, etc,looks cool, but sucks to drive around big cities, and heavy traffic.
    I like to blend in, to avoid dot cops, and there money game, but if its your dream, go for it.
    You only live once.
     
    25(2)+2 and bzinger Thank this.

    @CoThG $320,000 a year with a week on week off schedule and no college degree and you get to fly planes. I'm jealous.
