Yes, if or when I can get my hands on tractor and trailer, I was quoted 19,000$ a year with progressive, official quote considering my state and actual info with driving record, WI has one of the lowest insurance rate states.
Considering pulling the trigger on new profession.

Thank you everyone for taking time and sharing your opinions, really valuable to see perspective of people in the industry.
I think I’ll just work for as company driver for a 6-12 months, good friend of mine has company with 10 trucks and getting 4 more cascadias in February, he isn’t going to screw me over, while I work for him I’ll work on financing new truck and trailer once they become available ( already of several wait lists) and go from there.
im not worried about leaving my industry, I’m in very technical field, there aren’t many people more knowledgeable than me in the state or nation, so getting back won’t be an issue, but many rely on me and working 60-80 hours a week 7 days. -

I was a worker for years and could do none stop labor out doing anyone in the business. Worked up to be a manger for 15 years and did the same. Mental part was just as hard as labor was for complicated jobs when I was a manager. Now I would not be physical wore down when being a manager but was metally sometimes. It basically is the same thing for driving as after a week out driving hard get a little tired but nothing hard about it. Same way with finding jobs and doing paperwork. It really is not that hard as far as the work goes. And I get way less aggravated from Driving vs dealing with every problem from Design to Final Shipment process when was a manager. I know most people on here have no real clue on what a Manager does and think driving for ones self is worse.

Telcom is bruttaly political at the management levels. I had an angioplasty for my 40th birthday. By 43 I was referred for a transplant. Running his own truck will magnitudes less stressful than what he's doing now ... -

All that said, there's no better time to change your life then RIGHT NOW! Don't let anyone tell you differently. Don't listen to the economy BS, or the rate BS. or anything else. The only thing that matters is your hustle.
My only advice, go get a local driving job until next year, then look to buy a truck. Learn to back, then everything else will fall into place.
