    It should be somewhat eaiser for you to get your A then most people then. Got to get used to having a trailer that bends and being 70 feet long.

    What I would do, in your situation, is get a quote on insurance, find out how much it would be to insure if you drove, or put someone in there, then decide if you can afford it, and the pay cut. If you can, then hit the road, if jot, might be better off selling it for the time being. Good luck in whatever you decide.

    Oh I forgot to add one thing...stop buying things for men. If he can't afford a truck himself, is that the kind of man you really want to be with?

    You know I really thank you guys for the advise. I have some experience driving lager vehicles I currently work for the city of chicago transit system. I drive 40 and 60 foot and have driven a stick shift for year. We have a few drivers that have been truck drivers who have told me stories about working for other companies , but never about being a owner operator. Ive been on my job for 17 yrs and I also own my own construction company. Like i said earlier this truck was bought for someone i thought I would have a long term relationship with, however Im happy I bought this truck I'll add it to just another investment! Thank you again I'll just see how it goes☺
     
    MarkH129 and CrappieJunkie Thank this.
