20. Things worked out for the best all around.

You would have been faced with an intolerable choice if still self-employed; there was no way you were going to find that kind of money out of your budget, I know that I couldn't.

Hell, $700 a month is a new reefer trailer payment!

At least I could make money off of that, along with the depreciation for equipment. $700 a month for a drug essential to your basic function as a human being is criminal.


As an aside, I finally took the step and got my own operating authority, it went into effect on May 3, and is conditional to getting the insurance set up. I got the final quotes on Friday, and Monday or Tuesday I'll say the word, and be doing my own deal as soon as I get the truck and trailer re-lettered/numbered.

It didn't make much sense to pay someone else to do what I can essentially now do all from my cab; fax, copy, send insurance binders and get set up with new brokers, etc., copy and file all the paperwork, what have you.

I'm laying up at the Petro in Greensburg, IN right now for a 0730 in Mason, OH, nursery stock load.



Married life seems to agree with you in a very big way.

Congrats to you and your bride.
