What happened to all those big dollars you had saved up? You've stated many times you had enough in the bank to not have to work for quite a while. I also remember you claiming you had a significant amount when you were asking us about buying a truck.

Either #### or get off the pot. Go rent a room, an efficiency apartment or something and get a real job. You're full of excuses and zero commitment. Make a solid educated choice. Stick with it and live your life instead of trolling on TTR

You don't know what I know, and I know something you don't know.

I think they only haul pigs. At least in the Midwest I’ve only seen them pulling pig trailers and advertising for pig haulers.

Man, I don't know why you guys want me to say things that are going to hurt people's feelings. I don't know if you noticed or not but since covid house prices doubled. Wages have gone down. You used to be able to work a normal job like driving a truck and be able to be all right. Buy a house provide for your family. Those days are over and they're never coming back. It's only going to get worse. I'm sure there's plenty of guys here that haven't realized it yet or that are hoping for things to get better but it's not going to happen. The good old days are gone. It's harder than ever to get a job. And even once you have it, it doesn't mean much.

I see that you are reading into me saying work for free. Yes, it's a bit of a metaphor. But I cannot afford to work for free in today's world. It's costing me money to work a bad job. The problem is there's not a whole lot of better options out there either. Everyone is in the same boat. It's not a trucking problem.

The rates aren’t the biggest problem you’re facing, it’s your total lack of motivation. I bought 100 acres with a functioning dairy on it 2 years ago, didn’t do that by wailing about bad rates, I just worked harder when they went down! Now I’m farming and trucking when I can, and life is still good. No matter what you do, there are lean times and fat times, but there is always next year to do better
