<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Linte_Loco, post: 7111354, member: 64245&quot;]Been with a flatbed company for 8 years now as a company driver.&nbsp; Everything is fine with them as far as a company driver goes, but I need to step up now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thought about getting my own truck and leasing to current company but I need some exp as a O/O without too much invested. I have done tons of research on leasing and feel it best for me to give it a year to get hands on operating costs and such before I take the final step.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best for me to stick with flatbed for now even though I hate it some days <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; And would like to move up my skill some with bigger loads. Doing that 1 big load a week as opposed to many bs loads is my goal down the road. I feel ATSgives me a chance to test more unique challenges.</p><p><br /></p><p>My main goal for the year is to learn more about operating costs. My personal income I’m hoping to gross about 800 a week for me personally. It’s all up and down I know week to week, but I’m more concerned about monthly take home then weekly. I would like to save as much as possible of course, that is goal 2</p><p><br /></p><p>I will start financial secure from a personal standpoint. I’ve covered my personal obligations for 2 months to start. Have 4 credit cards with a limit of 15k. Paid off and a few grand in bank. Not a great start imo to get my own truck yet plus I need a little exp operation wise before I get my own truck.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know I’ll make the year, I’m just hoping I can squirrel some cash aside as well. But the exp is priority </p><p>I understand I have to work smarter not harder, but I also know I may be out for weeks on end. I’m prepared </p><p><br /></p><p>I will update when I can. The odds are against me, but I always get the job done no matter what[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
