    I will be there soon myself it looks like. :yes2557:

    But my feelings are different than yours TG and GR, I'm scared s**tless lol.

    This is a big step from running groceries for Sysco. And I still can't muster much $ after putting $3800 down on a T600 if I get one, plus buying a trailer cash. I'm trying to refinance my house, or get a personal loan on my paid for vehicles to help with the first few months.

    Not a thing wrong with being scared ****less. Just means you're taking it real serious as far as I'm concerned. The night before I was supposed to go and pick up my 1st load I hardly slept. It's no big deal right? You've been picking up and delivering all the time. Well, when the truck is YOURS, the trailer is YOURS and the money you put into the fuel tank is YOURS, you sure do look at things in a whole different manner than you would if you were still a company driver. The scared part goes away (I'm told) but the grin seems to last and last.....

    Don't the excitement fool you. I'm scared out of my mind. We're in a different position then you I guess. We don't have a house. So the worst that can happen is lose time and money. We'll continue to lose time working crappy jobs and money can be got again. We've worked our butts off for the last year or so. It's time to reap the rewards. I could fill your ears with all my worries and what if's. It's overwhelming. I'm at the point now I just want one thing to be simple. It's not though. Everything is a production and process. I'm stressed and worried and b*tchy. :biggrin_2559: Every time I think about it too hard I get a little queasy. I could just scream and pull my hair out, but I'm excited too. :biggrin_25523:

    Yeah, the words "Easy Come Easy Go" come to mind, but in most cases, it's just "Easy Go"
