    Thank you for your support. I am going to be starting with KLLM out of Jackson and once I get a handle on things im gonna by my own and get into SD loads with my own authority. my dad has been an O/O for like 15 years now but he is content where he is. he can make a lot more but he is on the verge of retiring so

    trust me I already have, most summers I spent in my teens was with him flatbedding. I kinda want to do that but kllm is a better suit right now. I know everyone complains about their lease purchase but at the end of the day counting numbers I see coming out better than being a company driver even if your paying expenses with a little more headache the bottom line will be more in my opinion
