    Five years ago, I was declined to buy a truck. The reason was because I didn't have enough credit.
    After scrutinizing other owner operators, I came up with an idea. If I can't get a loan, I save enough money to do so. I been living in trucks and jumping from carrier to carrier saving money. Today I went in and bought a brand new truck. Now I have a paid off truck, and I will be ready to rock in roll. Yes, I have load connections. Let the saving game begin. The question now is, do I have a trailer? Yes, my uncle gave it to me free! So what do you guys think?
    If you can't say something nice then please don't.

    Soon ? Whenever someone gets a brand new truck, they post pictures right away. Even more so for bragging rights if it's paid in full. What gives ? Something fishy here.

    A little sacrifice now brings dividends later. Congrats on having the fortitude to stick with it. Now keep it up and build a large nestegg, this way when it gets scrambled there is enough left over for you.
