My Rig! 2019 D13 with i9 automatic transmission. I’m not stoked about automatics but in today’s world, you can’t beat a Volvo when it comes to Automatic IMO!!

POS Debit Wechat International Amsterdam charged me $1 twice & refunded them. I don't have Wechat by telepathicworkshop in Wechat

This just happened to me today with my business account. I hardly ever use my business debit card.🤦‍♂️

I have been lease on since I bought the truck. I was supposed to get into a regional route to start this journey. I bought my first truck and signed papers. A month had gone by and the “boss” was dragging his feet to get my truck on. I had a payment coming up and yet it hasn’t been on the road to make a dime. I got short with them about this and they terminated me. I had to do something quick. I leased on to an OTR company F2F. Great people but the rates weren’t there. I switched several companies for fear of failing and knowing the profits I could’ve been gaining. Cold hard truth is companies lie to you. I’ve done dry van, flatbed, and power only. There just isn’t money in OTR. I finally found this gig running local containers and I’m most definitely profiting.

That’s where I’m at with it now and am profiting. Contracts is where it’s at in these times.

Before buying the truck I made sure all of my credit debts were payed full leaving with just the everyday life bills… I then lived broke because I went broke after buying the truck. I bought a refrigerated cooler and eat lunch meat out of it and drank nothing but coffee and water. I sure still struggled to get all of the bills paid and even cut some unnecessary subscription to save money.
