Okay, so this is really the state of MY trucking. I still have a truck and now I’m leased to the previous company doing pad wrap freight in Las Vegas. The deal I have with the owner is, I can do what I want. I can go in the office and help dispatch look for loads, go out on sales calls, or I might straighten out the safety office. If I go in a few days a week, keep going to school, my boss ( the owner ) even signed up for a few classes when I did, so we’re going to school together kind of, it’s still online, but by fall, I may need to actually go to class.
It’s still a fluid decision and could change at any moment, but right now, I’m only doing loads out and back. A couple a month, I can make the truck payment. It’s really not good to lose the truck and have it taken back by the bank, especially since it only has another year to go to be paid off. If I can keep up the payments with a couple of trips a month, fine, if not, then it’s back to the original plan. If freight starts picking up, I’ll find someone to drive it and work in the office. That’s a plan and it depends on what happens that will determine how things progress.

1It sounds like you have a great career in computers and web stuff… that is great!!!
Since you are (sorta) trying to get out of your truck… how would you like a husband/wife team to drive your truck for you?
I don’t know anything about that situation… but I (we – my husband and I) would be interested to find out how that might work. Let me know….

P.S. I have been following you since when Cindy was on the truck with you.
