Here is my story. My dad was an OTR driver for almost 40 years. He drove for Armour Truck Lines in Omaha and KC for 18 then NW out of Denver for 15 then some local stuff. He was gone all the time and I never wanted to be a trucker. I started welding plastic in '85, started my own business in'90 and been at it ever since. Dad died in 2009 and 3 years ago I got my CDL. Just been doing some local and OTR part time stuff for a few years. Turned 60 in June and got a wild hair up my ### and bought a truck. A '94 Limited Edition KW 900L with 423K mi. Nice truck, I'm stoked! and scared ####less now that my authority was finally approved 3 days ago. My sister asked if I lost my friggen mind when I turned 60? I'm starting to think she may be right! I went ahead and bought the truck knowing that I can always get my money back out of it if things go south! As a new O/O I have a million questions I should have asked before I bought a truck! Actually, I wish I hadn't been a bullheaded teenager and hung out more with the best trucker I ever knew, MY DAD! Anyway long story short, I am glad to be part of this group and I hope ya'll can be patient with all my questions! I will try to ask them in the right forum. Thank you, Panman49

Good luck. There's a lot to learn but I've been at it 35 years with my own truck and still love it.
