    I hear you on that. I am pretty much retarded and I just finalized my S Corp and the operating Authority is a week out or so.

    Newer Pete and new flat. Rates are good drive something you want. If not what’s the point. Ooida can help you every step of the way.

    If you don’t have $60-100k for down payments and operating expenses don’t even try. This isn’t a poor mans game and these shops will eat you alive.

    If I was to do it again I may of stayed at the propane company. Great pay and bennies. But owning your own truck and pulling your own loads is a good feeling. Been over ten years since I tried this. The difference is I didn’t go cheap. Time will tell. Hope it works out for you and I pray it will pay off for me.

    If you need advice or direction I am more then happy to help if I can. Still new but a solid strict business plan is in place.

    My truck is paid for and due to it's age and value, I need $30,000.00 minimum in my account at any one time. Over that is gravy for me. Now for personal, there's more for savings, like 6 month's minimum.

    I reduced my workload, own a 2019 truck and I am currently at home and will leave whenever I feel like it.

    ThruckRunner, that is the way we should all be living. That is my goal and I plan to be right where your at, by the time I am 55.
