You're right Skyrider, the "if's" do keep us in the dark. I would rather see it as a mid life opportunity as opposed to crisis. But, a rose by any other name.....right? We've decided to revisit this after the first of the year. This will let us build a better foundation to start with if we...

Yeah thanks Moot, if we get in with the owner we've been talking to we will be paying fuel so we would be following expenses. And I like to break things down into smaller groups of info so I look forward to figuring out cpm and so forth. Steady Eddie we may jump sooner than later yet. I'm...

I appreciate all the input from every one. Steady Eddie, we have decided to jump. However we are going to wait untill the first of the year. It will give us a little more time to tie up loose ends and I think I can even get paid my 4 weeks of vacation pay that way. Kazper, thanks for the...

Thanks, I appreciate the rain. It'll help me grow.

Thanks Road Time. We've decided on an owner and company based on our research. Hopefully we did a good enough job. We're basically debt free too so we're not in jeopardy of losing everything if we're wrong. Thanks for the insurance info too.

Well let's see. It's hard to know for sure but I think the risks are: Getting very sick or injured. Having no one to blame for failure but myself. (I could try to blame my wife but let's be real.) If the truck breaks I'm broke. Taxes and 1099's What am I missing? I'm sure there's plenty.

That's what I think. Thanks for the boost.

Trading golden handcuffs for freedom and independence is always scarry, right?

I'm not surprised at your confusion as I'm sure I'm making a mess of it. Lease is probably incorrect. From what I understand, I will be receiving 60% of what the truck makes. And paying for fuel.

Class B with a lift axle and lift gate with a 96" sleeper.

I will be doing a lease with a fleet owner leased to try hours. 60/40 I pay the fuel.

Hello, I have worked for Waste Management for 20 years. My wife and I are standing at the edge of this cliff called team expediting. From what I can squeeze out of people without really knowing who or what to ask, it seems we will be breaking even with the exception of no longer having employer...

Researching expediting. Possibly leaving a well paying job with insurance, to team with my wife in a straight truck.
