Where is everyone #5

I just threw up bile in the back of my throat, man that #### burns.

 

Yup!That's aggravated sodomy..no lube.

 

Trying to give someone an educamacashion today so they don’t end up looking out a window and calling it fun someday….

 

Full on gang bang. But you do get a new tee and cheap gift for Sucker Appreciation Week.

 

He will be along later to defend it.

 

Like when an abusee tells you how the abuser can some times be so sweet and thoughtful while squinting through a black eye.

 

What if I told u, ur company is most likely making 5 times more than you are off each load? While you take all the risk. Why take that risk if you revenue is 100% dependent on a dispatcher finding you loads and you can't call on anything yourself and negotiate your own terms as a representative of your company... I don't wanna turn this thread into a LP discussion , there is plenty other threads we can make on that. We can all agree that even if u are successful with a LP, you will come out better financially if you could source the truck on your own and lease on as an owner op. I just wanted to let bayou boy know there is an opportunity to LEARN , if he sees it as that. But it requires 110% commitment and bring your A game at all times, to get ahead.

 

You said it best. I questioned his commitment from his first posts about school/trucking. You don't do a LP deal with limited knowledge and expect quick returns. I mean, if you don't even have a dependable POV, what business does one have jumping into owning a truck, it makes zero sense?

 

You didn't by any stretch, but a seemingly human trait is to hear and see the parts we want to hear and see while completely ignoring undesirables and/or our own shortcomings. Happens with all of us, unfortunately. Well, at least it happens with me.

One thing I underestimated was my lack of drive without someone "needing" me. When I was running my shop, I worked 6 days a week, 52 weeks a year and only took off an extra day or two for 4th of July and Christmas. That didn't transfer back into trucking because it's a completely different dynamic. My phone doesn't ring constantly and I don't have people stopping by to ask for my services. TQL doesn't count, I blocked the number anyway lol.

 

If I didn’t trust you guys to shoot me straight and steer me in the right direction I wouldn’t post on the open forum and I especially wouldn’t expect you to do any less than have my back; realistically speaking I only need $700 a month for personal bills that’ll be gradually going down as I pay them off, need enough money for food and water, naturally and apart from that any extra money would go towards sending a little home, paying once a month for my schooling (was told it’s pretty much whatever you can afford), putting some away in a saving account, so on and so forth; if this lease purchase program couldn’t afford me to do that over the next 3 years or so then I would agree it’s not for me and as for getting rich quick/how long I plan on being in truck driving, I don’t expect to make it big over the course of the 4 years or so I’d definitely be driving, but thereafter I would likely have a job in a different field once I get my degree and that alone I know it would be better to be a company driver, but I’m not really sweating it as long as the basics I mentioned could be taken care of just to have the experience and owning my own truck
