Our two sons took the plunge and purchased a truck of their own and will now be expediting with the same carrier we are with.
Our oldest son had enough of driving for Conway. They were getting him pretty good miles and he was making good money, but he had no life. They don't give you much time off and he has a girlfriend who tried riding with him but was unable to take the lifestyle. She went back home and he never gets to see her while driving for a company.
The two boys put their money together and came up with a down payment and found a truck to purchase at Fyda Freightliner in Columbus, Ohio. They bought it sight unseen, only pictures. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it all works out for them.
I tried to talk them into driving for an owner first and saving more money but they want to be their own boss. I can't blame them for that.
It's nice that they are signing on with the same carrier. I can mentor them and help them avoid many of the rookie mistakes that we made when we started.
Can't wait to run into them out on the road!
