I understand what you are saying, and I know that is exactly what I will be saying myself many times "Why did I leave my easy and comfortable company job and take on all this extra responsibility?".

And now you are saying that even though you succeeded you wish you stayed a company driver. By success I assume you made more money than you could have driving the union job.

So overall independence and higher income was less preferable than the steady company job and less hassle?

It's all about go to a dealer first and find a company paying percentage.there is money to be made don't be put off yes they are warning but if u can get a line into certain brokers there is definitely money too be made. Depend's on what u wanna haul as well tanker and flatbed pay better than van and reffer generally

What do you lp guys net each week on average?

I have been dwelling on leasing a truck for a while now. Someday I would love to be independent and be in charge of my own truck. It is just that right now I only have about $10k saved up.

Big problem is I have a real nice company job right now with jb hunt. Total pay before any deductions each week is $1200-$1600. I am home every weekend. Even get two weeks of paid vacation each year. The office folks are great and they take care of all my needs. I cannot make any complaints about the job.

For some reason I am just getting restless.
