    I mentioned it the other day in another thread but, we all know who's gonna win. I mean its obvious. Sleepy Joe just can't keep up with a billionaire.

    You do have to be careful with that, well yes some companies will pay double for double drivers, most will split the income, so not much of a financial increase.

    A recent thread here got me looking at my old posts to see what the difference was, and I just want to thank every one of you that responded to this post. Sorry for getting a box truck there for a second, lol. Reading that post made me cringe. This is the thread where I still didn't know the difference between a broker and a dispatcher. There for a minute, I was running a box truck, and getting dispatched by a crew out of Jamaica. If it weren't for this forum, I might still be doing that, or already went broke and went back to the oilfield. It was you guys that said: "What's the point in running your own show, if you aren't going to dispatch yourself?"

    Things are so different now. You guys are just the greatest crowd.

    @blairandgretchen come this Summer, the wife is coming out with me. I'll make sure we can cross paths in Missouri.

    You have come along way since this thread. I can remember when you said you bought a box truck feeling like you really cheated yourself. Was thinking this man can do it just like I did and will do well for his family. Then you said you bought a box truck and I think I kind of lost interest. Ha Ha Glad you did change your mind as you are one that I like to interact with on the forum.

    I'm really starting to feel like a "trucker". Like, this is my life now, and this is what I do. I'm a trucker.

    I love being a trucker. I always wanted to be a trucker when I was a kid so it ended up being perfect for me. Now if I can get my new truck I would feel like a trucker in comfort. HA HA

    Hey now a success story lol we dont see a lot of those threads like that lately . I found this forum just as I was making my game plan to start in Trucking and 5 yrs later Im still here with a paid off truck with insurance paid in full every year . My wife was just showing me the pics when I first bought my truck and it brought back a lot of those fearful and uncertain feelings but we persisted and all is well . Keep Trucking!
