Fairy Tales ?
LISTEN.....Since you DON'T KNOW Me !
I LIVE on the ROAD ! : 11 MONTHS ! and I take 1 Month off !
And Like I SAID ! : I've been Driving for 17 YEARS !
So I KNOW The RATES GO IN CYCLES !
( Just like he ECONOMY Does ! ).
IF You BOTHERED to READ My PREVIOUS POST !Intothesunset Thanks this. -
Yes : I KNOW that MOST FLEETS Trade in their Trucks UP TO 5 Years or Under 600,000 Miles.
But I've also had O/O's Tell me that By Then MOST of The Bugs have been Worked out ! -

Staying 11 months on the road means nothing ...some people make this gross in 3 months
Bugs been worked out - will hear your story in 1 year ... You must be high assuming fleet truck been taken care as owner operator truck , people get rid of the truck for a reason ... Sometimes this reason not in your favorHoneyBadger67 and Tb0n3 Thank this. -

You will need at least a minimum of 90 days operating cash for the truck, better to be at 6 months.
Have a house or other place? what about the expenses for that.
Best to have at least 6 months expenses covered.
Really since your self employed, a year is better.
Want to take a nice vacation? Where do you want to go? How long would you like to stay? How much is it going to cost, plus pay all the other expenses, you have that much cash available?Click to expand...
Like I said : NO Wife ! NO Kids !
WHY ? Would I need at least a minimum of 90 days operating cash for the truck, better to be at 6 months.
I mean MOST Lease Companies PAY EVERY WEEK !
Like : Land Star or Mercer.....etc...etc....
I'm going to SAVE MY $$$$$ !
NOT Go out and Start a Shopping Spree ! -
Not like anyone try to discourage you but open yr eyes for reality
Being the driver is much easier and less stressful than being o/o -
