I also left the industry in 2016 to help out my dad who was dying from dementia.

I sold my truck that I had already paid off back then because I got used to being home even after my dad passed.

Trucking is an industry that will always be in demand. Granted you won’t always make a killing but there always is demand so don’t let things in the market scare you.

If nothing else... buy a truck now while they are cheap... run a couple loads a month to make the payments and run under another company’s authority so the insurance will be cheaper.

Once rates settle in better then apply for your own authority and insurance and continue on. Just my 2 cents.

Company driver 4 years, owner op 6 years.

Sorry to hear about your dad, and thanks for your thoughts
