O/O .....Here I go!

Well I have done it......I BOUGHT A TRUCK! I am leasing onto a great company , good compensation rate with regular steady miles and excellent reputation. I have given my notice at my current job and will be on the road in my own truck within the next two weeks. I got the truck at a very reasonable price and have a healthy cash on hand start-up/ maintenance fund. Truck is 2005 KW w900 ,600,000 miles, near new tires and brakes, well maintained with full service history records. YEEEHAAAA LETS GO TRUCKIN!!!!

 

Thank you. I will be sure to keep updates going when I can. I am canadian and wont have internet when I am in the usa so I will be making some TTR progress reports every two weeks or so when I am at home. Once again thanks for the well wishes.

 

Thanks . Its going to be a lot of hard work and alot of fast learning but I figured I would just jump right in. Dont get me wrong, I did my fair share of research and homework. In the end it really does just take a leap of faith and the confidence to back up the decision with hard work and open eyes ,ears and mind! Like anyone becoming O/O I have every chance of making it or failing. I think my chances are well above average to make it. I wouldnt have gone all in if i didnt think that. I realise and understand that its entirely up to me now and that I am the master of my own fate. Having said that I didnt get myself into the position of having the cash saved to start this by sitting on my butt not working. I set myself a goal 12 months ago to save to buy my own truck and I have achieved that. My new goal is to be still operating my truck succesfully in 12 months from now. If i can achieve that then I will be able to keep on being successfull. If I fail then at least I will have failed knowing I gave it all I had and tried my hardest. I have a business plan and if I stick to it then I will have no reason not to succeed.

 

Thanks for all the well wishes guys! JDP I will try to get some pics up soon as i can. Barroll it sure does feel a bit odd, a bit like "is this really happening" kinda feeling....but in a really good way! Rollin Coal, thanks for the words of encouragement. I gotta say one of the best feelings was being able to post it on here. I have put a few posts up over the last 6 months about going O/O and its good to be able to say I got there !
