Been reading about Post trainer/starting Solo

Actually people do LOL It's cheaper to learn in your own plane and it will be worth more whenever you want to sell it(in 99% of the cases)...I taught many that bought a cheap 2 seater(no need to pay for seats you can't use)plane to learn in then sold it and upgraded once they had a license...

But we get the point!

 

Depends on the company - I know the one we are going with does (Klingon's cousin is doing that - his wife will be riding along, but not driving) there is a minimal cost (insurance) - and you have to be out of training - so ask the co. you plan to go with if that is an option.

 

Hey PainNdaneck, if you want to do a little learning about owner operator or actually the trucking industry in general check out the OOIDA website. Really good site with reputable links.

 

Walstib, you check it out too, you little smarta##!

 

Do you get along REAL well with your wife..cuzz there aint nothin worse than a fight inside of a sleeper of a truck(to small a area to get a good punch in)

 

Yeah there's no door to slam, just a curtain with a zipper! We had our days, but who doesn't. Your going to get that no matter what two people are stuck together in closet for 2-3 months at a time! I wouldn't trade the experience for anything in the world! The memories are far more valuable then the money we ever made. Wish I took more picts and vids though.

 

LOL that made my night! thanks!

 

Chompi I take it your spouse went along with you? If so how was it? what were the pros/cons and what were any issues you experianced?

(anyone else who can add, it would be wonderful!)

Just wondering. I am trying to be as prepared as I can get.
