    only married to it a few more months

    then after that, comes the honeymoon, where he can sit as long as he wants, and take loads where he wants for however much he can get

    you cant fight the freedom of owning your own truck

    That's why so many of us go after the dream. In the end, that is the goal. Ownership .
    Be careful out there. Weather is getting freaky.

    Now I want you all to think about that...take a moment...the carrier has bullet proof glass and security.......What kind of a message is that ? I doubt they put it up and hired the guards just to do it...carrier mgmt. isn't proactive, they are reactive so something must have happened in the past. I'll just bet if we keep digging we'll find a disgruntled driver / employee whom didn't get paid / paid right etc.

    So people dream of owning a freightshaker with over 600,000 miles on it that will nickle and dime them to death after they get through paying it off. Wow glad I don't have those dreams.

    No, that would be a KW 680.
    And I'm not hating on him, I was shocked at his bring home for all the extra work, but I do wish him luck, if he doesn't see a problem, that's all that matters

    Dude are you kidding me. Do you know the Elegance, the superiority, the superness of a K dubya 680. LOL @ profitable experience.

    It's one of our new JBS/Swift trailers Pulled by a JBS KW 680 getting 8mpg, by the way. I might get 6.5 and 7 on a windy day. :)
