I think you'll do just great, Steve, but in many ways you are the exception. That's pretty evident.

There are baptisms..., there are baptisms.... 8) I'll let somebody else tell a bunch of stories. For me, I could go two ways right now. I could begin to talk about what I've endured and what I've learned and how it is I've separated myself from something you see often enough, a newer driver who just can't get his truck parked. I'd be a fool to act as if all my mistakes are past.

The other way to go is to honor God and to proclaim how I've learned I can't tie my shoes without Him. I feel no shame in saying I can't do this job without Jesus, and with Him I have eternal life and a future so bright...I've got to wear shades :D No matter how good or experienced anyone might be we're all on the same ground, fragile creatures subject to calamity but for the grace of God.

Enjoy it. It's a good job.

That one just deserves a replay :)

I'm thinking, of buying myself an airplane, and starting owner operator deal!
Don't have a licence yet, but i guess it's no big deal.
Anyway, trucking business is getting kinda boring, didn't see any challenge in it, everybody can do it!

Any advice? Where should i start? Should i buy a plane, or parachute first? :roll:

Oh! I don't know much about computers either. Does it make me qualified, to open a consulting firm? :roll:

How about, gourmet restaurant? :roll:

Construction business? :roll:

Or should i stick with trucking? :roll:

LOL....I guess I started at the other end. I owned a plane and guess what, it took only 40 hours of instruction and I was sent on my way so you should have no problem. Just remember, red over red....YOUR DEAD....red over white....your all right.

Depending on state, you should plan on making your 1st truck payment before even leaving the house. Many of these states/Washington takes forever to get tags, etc to you. Im still waiting for HUT 6 weeks after submitting. Yes I can get one on the spot there, but it doesnt come quick.
