Is O/O A Good Idea Soon...

heck man...great salary, paid holidays, vacations, no headaches, just personal expenses, that's living the life, i'd keep it, bank int, invest in a nice home/farm/ranch set up, concentrate on paying that off.

i'd not lose a nearly "sure thing" over several months of lack-luster income, bills, and everything else.

i'd never leave such a set up either.

to be one's "own boss" is great, but when someone has it all now, and hardly has to work or gets large amounts of time off.....

why lose that "sure thing" for a gamble...????

wanna gamble..??

buy a lottery ticket.

 

Get all your ducks in a row, buy your equipment, stage it and then wait. As soon as the next boom comes press the Go button and activate.

 

If you have the money I’d start looking for a truck in the next 6-12 months or so. Good deals will start to be had before too long. I doubt new equipment prices will ever come back down but there should be a correction in the used market in the future.

 

100k and no winter work? Hey man, I’ll sell ya my truck cheap gimme your job.

 

Curious what ELD rules have to do with the difficulty of owning a truck.

 

Well, you’ll have that luxury in your own truck too but it will waaaaaaayyyyyy more expensive to hang out all winter and not work

 

You could transfer here to MN.
You'd have November to April off..lol

 

I think you need to look at the overhead, and what first year authority insurance are like. It was 25-28k a year for a van on unlimited mileage. That’s not counting in your physical damage.

 

Fmcsa is exploring to mandate elogs on old trucks in order to push out old polluting trucks.

 

Take that Greta Thunberg...
