    The jury is out. I’m parking it for a while and taking some personal time. I’m getting my health on track and dealing with some issues. I may need to give the truck back to the leasing company if my time off is extended.
    I’ll check in periodically

    Hope you get your health in good shape. Hope you don't have to give the truck back. Best of luck to you.

    Well, I’m still jumping through the “get this test, talk to this doctor “ thing. I did end up returning the truck. No way I could afford a payment and take time for all the tests and appointments.
    I jumped on with a small company as a company driver. I can get home or take time off as needed without worrying about a negative settlement.
    My ambitions have been put in neutral for now.

    I’m having a hard time adjusting to a worry free mode of not paying for everything. I just drive. It’s kind of nice.

    I'll bet thats been a real load off. Not to mention the always positive pay check?

    What you hauling around now? Local or on the road still? I can't say I miss living up there. My mom is still in IR, we visit often.
     
    Wickedfire77 Thanks this.

    Auto parts loads. Home as often as needed but ideally every other weekend for 3-4 days. Pay by the load rather than by the mile. It’s decent.

    I’m discovering it’s kind of nice to not stress over miles. I ran 214 miles for $300 yesterday. Pretty happy with that. Still digging out of the personal life debt though

    I must have missed it. When did Mr. fuel become a Pilot fuel spot? That company is a monster
