My point was anybody with that work ethic generally gets into their own truck. Then there’s those who get into their own truck and stay out like that because they can’t afford to go home. In another thread I told of a young couple, young and new to trucking that did $300,000 in their first 12...

DND, Truck financing is very tough. For experienced drivers buying first truck, tough. For inexperienced drivers, almost impossible. There are sharks out there willing to take advantage of your position, as you’ve found out. It’s risky. You open a dog training facility and default, they...

I know a team of rookies, young, energetic, and new to trucking, that did over $300,000 in their first 12 month’s at FedEx. They thought, why give the owner 40% when we do all the work. They promptly bought their own truck. My last TVal truck was at $208,000 after 8 month’s. Cruising to...

You keep saying Go to Load One and make more money. Yet every time I ask how much I hear crickets. I can believe there are a lot of positives about working at L1, why do we never hear real numbers ? Not the killer loads, but total miles/ total income per year type numbers. Geo keeps saying go...

They’re out there. They’re called Owner Operators.

LAAADEEE to me like nails on a chalkboard

I totally agree with LDB. Save up some $$$$ and go to school to get a class A CDL. Community Colleges sometimes have affordable courses. Then you can easily find part time work on your days off. Keep your day job / benefits and get some Road time.

The competition should be fierce. Guys are practicing hard, daily.

Actually her GIRLFRIEND needs to read it. She may have gotten good advice if she took her retirement before full retirement age. If she waited, she probably did get bad advice.

Hope she got good advice from someone competent. Part timers, like H&R Block sometimes get it wrong. I had a CPA recommended by a friend that owned a drugstore, do me wrong. I called my new accountant who couldn’t find see me for 6 month’s. We filed an extension, and sent 50% of what the first...

Yeah, they’ll all be telling you to SHUT UP !

And miss all the fun ?????

Curling stones for brains ? Sounds like a personal attack. 4 well respected members quoted it. I quoted it also. What’s this site coming to ?

So sorry eh? Let's go curling. Is that like spooning south of the border ?

It happens to people our age. Particularly in the Midwest in February.

90 minutes I'm surprised it's still up. Did I leave my camera on again ?

If it does, it’ll be of interest to plenty of us short timers. Seems to be quite a fewer old farts here trying to game plan the next chapters. I don’t have the people skills to work at Speedway or FD.

Since it’s aimed at a Canuck, it may stay up longer than usual ?

Over/Under on how long this stays up in it’s present form. 90 minutes

Did she wait until full retirement age ? My brother makes $100,000 plus and just took his at 66 expecting no penalty.
