    I am single too.In mid 40s and I want more from this life.You got to have a plan driver.After 39 months of driving, living rather frugal and investing in 2 months I will try new approach.6 months of driving,6 months of holiday.Will see how it works.Life's too short to spend it all in a truck and throwing more money on a pile don't make much sense to me at this point as I won't be any younger and you can't buy time no matter what.Say I will make $30-35k in 6 months.This is a hell lot of money in Thailand or Philippines!

    I'm curious. Is 2007 or earlier because that is when EPA got more crazy on emissions?

    The Southwest IS beautiful. But have you considered driving for an LTL company linehaul in the southwest? Top pay for many is .60 mile or more solo

    I made a mistake years ago changing from a job I loved to get a couple dollars more per hour.
    The people and working conditions made my life miserable.
    I vowed never to make that mistake again.
    The people at Danny Herman are so easy to deal with..Dispatch runs like a swiss watch..Im 'staying right where I am.

    If that is $1.09 mile driving company truck as company driver, that is awesome.
