That is why I hung it up. I was burned and stressed out. When my accounts started shutting their doors or cutting rates to $1 buck that was about it. Tried leasing on, not worth the effort and finished under another guys authority that let me do my own thing with brokers, etc. That was a year ago, and I don't miss it one bit.
In fact, everyone I know personally that was in trucking are now gone. My buddy just sold his truck and trailer, and is moving to Texas to sell cars at a car dealership where his wife works.
