    Well I have never set down and added it all up .
    I can say after 35 years I have two houses paid for and no car payments and my truck is paid off .
    I have spent untold fortunes on my 2 kids LOL.

    I can say that I know I have grossed several million dollars over the years and netted a couple of million give or take .

    I am one of the few happy campers in trucking but I haven't been able to turn that into a paying job like some people seem to think everyone that is happy with their life has done LOL.
    I am trying to decide if I want to work this month or just call it year right now .

    ^^^^^ STRONGLY disagree. My bux wouldn't be worth bunk without my family to share it with. I'm blessed, I guess.
