Well Guys
Can I cry now, or am I only allowed to whine and snivel? We're FINALLY gettig into the season to haul gravel onto oil leases--the snow has finally almost melted.. Went today to make sure my Freightliner is ready to work. NOT. Spent $8000 on a new computer for the truck, and $600 for two new windshields (knew that was coming--just not how much). Now it's $150 for a safety inspection, $650 and $500 for 3 months registrtion and insurance (admittedly, the last 3 were no surprise). But, (and this is where the whining comes in). what it boils down to is this--no MES 30 for me until fall. Sob, whine, snivel. That's what I've always said about being an owner/operater--big money in, bigger money out. LOL Funny thing is--I bought my first truck in 1982 I always scoffed at operators who took their first big paycheque and bought a new pickup, boat, or RV. So back in 1994, I got the biggest paycheque of my life. Went straight to the Harley Davidson store and paid cash for a new Harley. That's 32 years ago--never made or exceeded that income since then. I'm afraid that truck drivers just are not the brightest bulbs on the tree. LOL
