I don't make 14 an hour. I make more than that .I get nothing out of pitching the company to you. They are simply one of the best companies I have worked for. I'm not saying it's the end all be all for trucking. I thought it would be a good opportunity for u and so I spoke up. Because I had an experienced hand offer me the same opportunity when I went to dsv to do a lease purchase . He got 0 dollars for recruiting me but he thought it may be a good option for someone like me to get into the business and learn.. And that's exactly what it turned out to be. I could've made way more money somewhere else, but the life and business experience I gained was priceless and I'm forever grateful to the people that I worked with there. I paid off my truck, completed the contract I said I would and then ventured out on my own and have took ### kicking after ### kicking since then. If only u knew how much pride I had to swallow after being In business for 5 years and being fairly succsful, to lose all that to go back and be a company hand . On my 34hr reset I get at home I spend it wrenching on my equipment for which I still owe A lot of money on, yet the money coming in disappears in an instant.. I have had to reevaluate my timeline for accomplishing what I want to do, and I've learned that's perfectly ok.. Its better than just throwing in the towel and saying the world sucks and poor me.. Nothing good in life ever comes easy, sometimes u got to put pride and money aside to work towards a bigger picture..

I said all that to say u really got to do some soul searching to figure out what u are trying to do in this Industry. For some its ownership, building a fleet or just being a 1 man band. Others like to be a nomad and live on the road, or stack cash and retire young. Others do this to support a family. Figure out what it is u want to do and find an opportunity to get u there. Worry about pride, money and glory for another day

I wasn't going to reply to anyone but I seriously do appreciate the heads up about the opportunity and I wouldn't have found it if you didn't speak up. Thank you for trying to point me in the right direction. I believe everything you're saying. I'm sure it's a great company. I just don't see myself going down that path at this point in time. It's just not what I'm looking for. I know I won't be happy there.
