Yes, your right but I've done plenty of things in my life where I put everything on the line and prayed that nothing would go wrong.

The first house I bought I could hardly make the mortgage payments and I would have been in big trouble if the furnace went or I needed a new artesian well put in. I took the risk and took the chance and nothing went wrong and my salary went up and up.

There are many other options if you do have a major breakdown like taking out a loan, credit cards and other ways to make ends meet.

I took a huge risk going from no experience to getting my CDL to jumping right in and hauling loads. Financially it wasn't a problem but the risk was high. I prayed I would make it over the learning hump.

I just wish everyone would help others when they ask instead of giving advise where none was asked for. I wasn't looking for another father when I came to this forum and I wasn't asking for all the reasons I shouldn't be doing it but I got an ear full and it went in one ear and out the other.

You live in a great area for freight. Nashville is very centrally located. He should be able to do well just staying within the 500 mile radius.

I once heard that Nashville is one day's drive away for 1/2 the population of the country.
