I know the town he works in, and what he does. The company's name, I do not. I'd think we're friends. We talk about 1-3 times a week, and I've met him in person a few times. Last time I saw him was in Mass this summer. We talk money, and we both don't bullcrap each other. He really is a great normal guy with a sense of humor if ya knew him.
I know crap rates influenced his decision when he decided to help out at his former job and came back on a contractual basis, but he said he should be out running in the springtime. Anybody care what Teal95KW is doing? lol

Even though my rates are $130 an hour - I'll be hitting the road after the 1st of the year (most likely) with my own rig - staying out 3-4 weeks and coming in for 1 to tend the few clients I have left that I still LIKE. I turned down 2 new clients this week - I'm trying to wind the computer business DOWN, not CRANK IT UP... I don't have $30K in the bank, but I have $20K buried in my backyard. Soon as I have enough to get started comfortably (50% insurance paid up front, separate $5K maintenance account, 3 months expenses & a truck payment around $600 a month) I'll drop the hammer and go for it.

I haven't read or followed all the posts, but the guy never rubbed me the wrong way. If he wanted to go run his own rig so be it. Can someone e-mail me the link? I just don't see GMAN as being nearly as cantankerous as some of us others, but I also haven't seen him have to wait in line at a buffet either
 . "I swear you sit and wait for someone to mention Booth." Now that's just funny!

He doesnt really frequent any other forums anymore that Im aware of. He used to, back when this thread was new. But that's ancient history.

I am usually pretty easy going, Flying W. And I rarely stop at the buffet.  I have seen too many people go from the bathroom to the buffet without stopping to wash their hands. But that is another story. :smokin:

That's just proves my point, that he was(is) a "hobby trucker). He's still playing with his toy, but since it's not new anymore, not that much. And his life hood, is not depend of it. Good for him!

He made it clear on a few occasions on here that he made a LOT more money at his old job then his new one. He simply wanted to try out trucking, always wanted to do it. He is lucky however, to have such a high paying job to fall back on. Almost nobody here has that. Trucking IS our fall back job.
