    Everyone is free to do as they wish. If a person has a solid plan and cash reserves, then it may be a good time to get in.
    If someone starts out in a down turn and survives, then it will be a breeze when rates come back up.

    I have been around long enough to remember waiting in line to use a payphone at a Union 76 and never have I heard a driver say that it is a great time to get in.

    "Things were always better and in the next few years we will all be broke." That phrase should be etched onto every truck in America.

    Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I say go for it.

    Yes, there is a truck payment on top of that and a few other things as well.

    That's what I would be concerned with the expenses. Like I said great country with great opportunities. You just have to make sure you can produce the revenue. You've been here before you know what it takes. All the best to you

    He didn't fail; he's been a poster on here for a long time and needed to go local for awhile.

    Any opinions on Canal insurance for 0/0's.?
    Some 0/0's say it the cheapest they can find.

    I think Greenville Sc. They are a “B” rated company some brokers will not book loads with anything but “A” rated.
