Well son, here's what you do... here's uncle cat's path to success and freedom. Take notes.
1. Gain mechanical knowledge and ability.
2. Buy an old truck (something cool. Think paccar)
3. Progressively fix up old truck as you work it.
4. Buy parts you don't need, just because you actually found them.
5. Work on truck most weekends and keep saving money... you'll need it to keep the thing in working condition while all the guys saddled with $2500 monthly payments complain about elds, def, satellite communication, and not being able to idle.
6. Truck like truckers have for 100 years, with a smile on your face, getting 5mpg... but knowing you can always get 5mpg because your onebox won't go caput and your eld won't put you out of service.

6. This will test the best of relationships.
7. The old truck will mentally and physically break you more than once.
8. You can do this, but when done you will not be the same person.
9. Its a long game, not short.
10. May God bless this mortgaged truck.

@650cat425 trucker 10 condiments?

Amen brother James. We need to amend one though... thou shalt not haul cheap freight.

Personally I HATED paper logs. Dirty hands = dirty pages. Loved being on the Keeptruckin' app though.

Horse hockey! Big old hand print in the middle. I'm a working man. Or maybe left it back at dinner after coffee.

I think the trucking business in general can have this effect on a man.

I was thinking along the lines of Bam Bam from the Flint Stones with that dang club, but “dawned” is what I’ve always meant to say! I never use that phrase so I forgot

Forgot to mention this....you do know BamBam is a Rubble not a Flintstone....right?!
