    Again with the assuming.
    No.
    I don't have a payment. I failed into ownership.
    Now I'm successfully coping with the natural beauty of a clear title.
    It's easy to judge others from the comfort of a company drivers seat where you risk nothing but what every other driver does when we take to the highway.
    You can have your opinions, we can have a healthy debate. I just take offense when someone makes assumptions and dictates how others "should" live.
    They "could" do a purchase traditionally the "right way" but chose a different path.
    It may not be your path, but let them chose it without hostility.
    Honestly all I saw was a long post saying "you're stupid and you suck!"
    What did that solve?
    Constructive criticism is fine, but why belittle someone in a game where you have no stake in the outcome?

    Actually I think I'm seeing it. You aren't a troll. I'm going to make an assumption of my own. I think you are considering making a jump to O/O. Be it an LP, which you must be considering since you are reading these threads. Or you have your $20k saved up to do it "right".
    Either way. Best of luck.

    I will tell you why he left the top named company after 5 years driving and 5 years working dock before with same company.
    To Control his own life. Not to bow down to some corporate dispatchers and beg for time off or a run. He was in demand because he ran hard. But that is No protection Zero protection from being fired because he chewed tabocco or smoked. They fired many for it. You don't like the new rules then goodbye. He chose to leave before he was fired because of the No tabocco rule.

    He makes more now than when he teamed driver for that major big corporate company called Old Dominion. Yes, you read right. He left the one company many dream of getting into and Can't. They tried to get him back but he had enough of their be rules that started getting worse and way stricter. Now they have too many drivers and not enough work. So many drivers sit at home waiting to be called out. His ex partner still works their and we keep in touch. So I do know the Truth.

    OO do make more and do have more freedom If they have the brains and guts to risk all. LP is a risk and only the smart survive. There are many LP programs most will screw you over. But not all. But you do have to Work and think on your own. Not just drive or hope to drive and pick up a check.

    There is an old saying "You don't get Something for Nothing you must earn it, by blood sweat and tears". The path to Paradise is not a free ride nor pathed in gold but at the end you will be rewarded.
    Those are true I know for I have been there for past ten years.

    I also hope you start a thread on here so you can be laughed at for every decision, right or wrong, by those who would deem you inferior.

    Nah. Everyone knows trolls regenerate electrical damage. You need Melf's Acid Arrow or a fire spell such as Azagannar's Scorcher to take em out. ;)
