Would it be wise...?

We are currently leased to a company. We have two trucks. One truck is driven by our driver and we pay him. The other truck me and pops roll team in. We have been doing this for awhile now. It is coast to coast with one day home sometimes one and a quarter. We used to team but we would do 3 days home instead of one(different route)
Would it be wise to buy another new truck for me and my father to run our old route? We would put a team in the truck we are currently driving.
This route has us turned into workaholics. We run 5-6 runs and its taken a toll on us both.
The company lets carriers who have their own authority to still lease onto them. Would it be worthwhile to get our authority after buying this other new truck? We can make the trucks payments easy and weve been planning on our own authority for awhile; we dont want to loose this run.

Looking for advise, stuck in a corner..

 

We own the one truck, no payments, this one we have monthly payments. This one we roll in has monthly payments. To get another truck would be double the monthly payments which is affordable.. Plus maintenance accounted for as well..

 

What do you mean

 

I was sayin we would go back to our old route and give a team this route.

 

There are teams out there that concider their truck home. They dont go home for MONTHS at a time.. Thats who we would look for. Perhaps even a husband wife team. And yes we WOULD look to make a profit on the run; isnt that why most people go into business.. To make a profit? Thats why we have one solo guy, because we are making a profit. Am i missing something?
