    I heard 9 months a year working, and $300K gross.
    Oh wait that's an independent operator.

    Yes : I KNOW that MOST FLEETS Trade in their Trucks UP TO 5 Years or Under 600,000 Miles.

    But I've also had O/O's Tell me that By Then MOST of The Bugs have been Worked out !

    Staying 11 months on the road means nothing ...some people make this gross in 3 months :)
    Bugs been worked out - will hear your story in 1 year ... You must be high assuming fleet truck been taken care as owner operator truck , people get rid of the truck for a reason ... Sometimes this reason not in your favor

    Like I said : NO Wife ! NO Kids !

    WHY ? Would I need at least a minimum of 90 days operating cash for the truck, better to be at 6 months.

    I mean MOST Lease Companies PAY EVERY WEEK !

    Like : Land Star or Mercer.....etc...etc....

    I'm going to SAVE MY $$$$$ !

    NOT Go out and Start a Shopping Spree !

    Not like anyone try to discourage you but open yr eyes for reality
    Being the driver is much easier and less stressful than being o/o

    25k on the side might not be enough ...
    Here is example :
    Yr great used truck have blown engine on the 3rd week , towing and repair can be well over 25k ...not counting your phone food insurance truck payment etc ...while in shop you have to live off something , freightliner dealer wont release your iron horse before bill paid
