I had my own LLC not too long ago and I shut it all down when the rates went crashing but before the semi truck prices came down, sold my International Prostar for the same price i paid for it 2 years and 200,000 miles later.
I wanted to ask if any of you have tried trucking part time, I have a job schedule where I am off for a full 30 days, and work for 30 days. I have been living like a retiree at the age of 32, and I have decided that it isnt conducive to growing my bank account.
I had progressive commercial insurance and it was around 17k a year for me with the million dollar policy for a single truck. I would like to get another rig now that these trucks are back at reasonable prices, and some to good to be true, any kind of trucking company that would let me bring my truck after 3 years not driving and haul their freight for them?

This is the new normal. Nothing is ever coming back down and the only time rates will go up to a decent hemisphere is when another short lived ripple is caused by another manufactured event. Buy gold. You'll do better in the long run.
