    Nope. My wife went back to the U and she just graduated this last December. I have a 16 y old son , my other two Oldest are independent . I have a house and I support my mother. We live a very simple life.
    in 2018 I run about 67,000 miles and i grossed 207,000 . What that tells you ? Last year I did not work much .
    The key here is to spend less than what you make . Do not compite with the Jones . Your grass is green too.
    Let me tell you an history . I showed the ropes about this business to one of the guys that I know . The first thing he did was to buy a nice an expensive RV and big hummer. He doesn’t have the time to enjoy his new toys . Do you see my point ?

    Excellent. Not quite $6.00 a mile you said you were parked for, but good enough ;-)

    I'm doing good, nothing special but the usual. I hope the bottom doesn't fall completely out cause I'm almost broke. The stock market is having a sale, while everyone is buying TP I been buying stock.

    All I see are the normal loads that get shipped regularly. They aren’t exactly hot, and rates are the same. Produce season hits, it may change. Slight bump in rates, and volumes,10% tops.
