    Congratulations dino.... If that's what you're looking for, and it looks like a pretty decent opportunity in Florida, go for it!

    SURELY doesn't mean you can't post here anymore.... the place wouldn't be the same!

    thank you gears,i went into this venture with this truck the deal being 12,000 in 90days and no payments,i do enjoy driveing,its where i started with my old man,lol back then there was no drivers school it was the school of hard knocks lol meaning getting a smack in the back of the head from the old man when you miss a gear ,grind or anything other than what you were taught lol but the moneys arnt there ,in two mths iv grossed a good amout but between deadheads and,lack of frieght its eating the proffits iv put aside,if i was to have a major breakdown id be screwed so im winding it down ill run three more weeks and give the truck back and go back to pissing all you drivers off that come to tampa cause im going back to building roads and bridges,and my jobsite will be buy the tampa air port,so if you come thru blow the horn flip me the bird lol for slowing you down and buy all means be safe,cause the life you may save may be mine out there,its a proven fact that 4 hiwayworkers die each day due to traffic while they work ,oh and to med man yes you were right,its tough out here so for those thinking there gona set the world onfire being a truckdriver,you will have good and bad weeks but all it will take is one major breakdown and no money and yull be out of business so beware of where and who you run for cover your but but ill be checking in fom time to time see whos causeing touble lol:biggrin_2559:

    It's gonna be a month, no way around it. I've put EVERY penny I've made in the last 6 weeks into that truck. Now I have to give all my other bills at least one rotation before getting back to it.
