Owner Operators Closing Operations Next Year?

What u mean

 

Havent been working my ### off, but still making the payments

 

Threads like this make me glad I stayed a company driver. I retired 3 years ago. I started driving in '99, but had a couple of self employment jobs before I started driving. I always put as much as I could afford into Roth 401ks and regular 401ks to take advantage of free company match. I survive on $79k per year with no payments. Own my home in a metro area and a cabin on 182 acres.
Occasionally in the future I will get income from timber cutting on property and start distributions from regular 401k. I'll leave the Roth 401ks to my step kids.

 

Well, I wouldn't want to be in Toledo right now. Stellantis( what a stupid name) announced, they are laying off almost 1200 workers, effective immediately. This coming after only 1 month from agreeing to a new contract from the union. I'm no union man, but "have a nice day" indeed.

 

I might as well ruffle some feathers… Things have been ok the 1st half of the year but the last 6 mouths or so all the window lick’n re-tards that bought a over priced truck a few years back and now can’t survive in the 1.50 per mile freight world. Are trying to get in to the specialized trucking and cutting the rates and F’n it up now too..Bunch of bogger eaters anyhow

 

Could you tell us how you really feel!

 

What do you mean? Trucking must be great when you see guys from VA and SC out in NE pulling trailers for Hauxwell. Lol.
