Okay ...its just my opinion ...and I am in the same situation ...mostly
Me Personally ...I think what theese folks are saying is this ...with all the Miles , logs , contracts , driving , ...all the mayhem and fun you already face ...just as a driver period ...the last thing you need is a reason for someone else to have a hand in your pocket ... so the less your indentured to anyone the better ...I think that is the message ...would One of you Vets out there set me 5x5 on this ...
Me personally ...I found an old 401 k ...ordered some new engineer boots ...a new oilskin duster ... and am holding about 500 cash for my own personal stash on the road ...
I personaly ( realizing not everyones situation is the same ) do not want to tolerate anything dipping out of my finances any more than I have to for whatever training the company that hires me does ... after that I plan to keep my personal accounts simple as I can ...no loans no advances ... thats what that starting stake is for ...
