Owner op question

They had autos back in the 80s already, there wasn't very many of them.

 

We’ll curiosity has gotten the better of me why don’t you wanna drive a standard tranny

 

I drove a 2000 model Freightliner. Century classic. That was automatic. That particular one had the clutch like a standard transmission.

 

So you have $40k to get started?

 

Lmao. That didn’t take long

 

Why do you say that? I would say that's the minimum to get started being an O/O. Auto or manual doesn't factor at that point.

 

I started with 17,000 dollars, I now have made 55 Gs since June

 

Unless you're a good truck mechanic and you're running something a little older that's not totally trashed out and you're not financially strapped, then you could get by with ALOT less

Not saying that works for everyone tho

 

That's true. And some simply get lucky and start with a lease purchase with no savings. They somehow get the perfect runs and is able to save enough to buy a truck. Those are the rare cases though,
There is a reason a good 80%-90% of O/O - L/O never make it past the first year.
