When to take the plunge....

We make about 1300 per week each which is a lot better than anybody working for a mega and they treat us pretty well. I just know the real money and trucking is being an owner operator and I see what some of these loads pay and I've talked with some Landstar bcos hauling the same stuff we do driving Super Deluxe extended sleepers so the money is definitely there.

 

I would never be with anybody but my sweet spouse!

 

I'm 46 and she's 45. She has a 26 year old and I have two boys ages 10 + 12. We're not going to have any more kids.

 

I don't like debt any more than you do. I have a house that needs to get refinanced too to get my ex-wife's name off the deed.. It's a complicated financial situation. I have $200,000 in retirement money but I don't want to touch it because of the penalties. We can keep doing what we're doing and save about $1,000 a week or we can go owner operator and possibly Bank double that. I'm not getting any younger and I don't want to be on the road for ever. If it was just me I probably wouldn't go O/O at least for another three or four years but I figured with my wife driving and being able to take team loads it is a good deal for us and less risk than if I was solo.

 

The only real assets are land, gold, guns, and food. And only if you can keep them when the s*** hits the fan.
