    It is funny to read, only because we’ve all said it more than once. He had a bad day. I’m sorry to hear that. But I can’t help but laugh, knowing exactly how he feels. That’s it!! I’ve had it!!!

    How long have you had your cdl? How many years experience?

    You're going to be looking down the gun barrel at maybe $15K to $18K year for insurance.

    Unless you have $40K ( cash ) after you get everything in place, think it over carefully.

    It's just how the insurance game goes. Even with 10 years, the first year of a new authority is very expensive.

    You'll need money for fuel, repairs, your living expenses, until you get paid. 30 to 60 days.

    You'll want $40K cash on hand.
