I seriously doubt it just my opinion. I have yet to meet a rich Truckdriver yet .Well once met 2 millionaires in one day while laid over in Atlanta during the worst of the recession. Both claimed to just love Trucking so much doing it for fun!!! Bottom line if you’re happy now and make $80k and feel secure why bother . If something changes you can always buy a truck. There’s so many variables. If you want more freedom especially if all $$$ earned is going to the same household I think a team is great. But if you’re splitting the $$$ then might as well be solo. I’m sure you probably know more about that than I do. My Father and I considered it years ago but it didn’t add up to much more than us being home less. All depends what you want to do. To me it all boils down to freedom. Being able to walk away easily if needed being a big part of it. There’s pros and cons both ways. I will tell you that after 22 yrs of being an o/o I have no desire to work for someone else. Only job I held more than 3 yrs is my own!!!! Good Luck whatever you choose to do.You can make as much or more than currently, but I don’t think you’ll have 200k in the bank on top of your pay.And not to be negative but you can go into debt real quick if not carefull.

I know of at least two RETIRED drivers that are active posters in TTR that have a net worth of 7 figures. Both invested money! Before I forget, I am not speaking of myself or @Chinatown .
