    Been a fun ride , made money, paid off truck but I'm out . Truck is at Ritchie Bros & Trailer sold and working on the sale of DOT/MC # . Juice wasn't worth the squeeze for my taste and honestly I've had one foot in and one out spending my off time golfing and enjoying the family. Since day one of getting my CDL and being a company driver to buying my Truck and running under my own Authority it's been a good 6 yrs and TTR has been a wealth of knowledge the whole way . I walk away with no debt and cashing out with the sale of equipment and had quite a bit in company account so might hop a plane to somewhere warm but good luck to yall guys and safe travels .

    Good to hear. I regret nothing about getting out. Sold the truck and got out on top. After many months fully at home, decided I want to become a firefighter/paramedic. In school now. Wish you the best

    Are you completely done with trucking altogether?

    Best of luck with the auction sale. Seems a good way to go to avoid the tire kickers. Hopefully it gets the money you want out of it.

    I put some old trucks I own up for sale, posted 30 pics explained to a T in the ads what they needed and my price. The idiots that called were rampant, my wife thought half of them were prank calls. Hands down if I do decided to sell them again they will be going to an auction lot.
