RowdyRebel Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I drove my 500,000th mile as an O/O. Sure as heck doesn't feel like all that long, but come to think of it I'm only a month and a half away from 5 years since buying my Mack. Time sure is a-flyin'! 1 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyRebel Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 It's fun when things are going right. Even on the bad days, though, it beats driving somebody else's truck. In all honesty, I don't think I could go back to driving a truck that is owned by somebody else...not hauling freight, anyway. Maybe I'd drive somebody's wrecker for them...but that's pretty much the only way I'd go back to being just a driver with no ownership interest in the truck.

Pay the oil change?Taxes, registration, 2290I hear yeah. They just see the bill and have no concept of what it takes.Congrats. Think I got this with 5 or 6 something low numbers it is Turning almost 967000 as of tomorrow. I know I'd never go back as a company driver.

I keep HOPING to someday make some money, but every time I think I'm getting somewhere, I get kicked in the teeth. Finally got one of the biggest mistakes I made starting out behind me, though...just dealing with the aftermath now.
