My 32 year career Odyssey has been a comedy of tragedies.
2 years into owner operatorship in 98 a blown engine with a repair bill of 11k left me in bankruptcy court. A bounce back with a second truck and a sell of it for my dream truck (kay dubbya) made me think I was in a pretty good financial position.
Wrong
A drunk driver who owned nothing was a horrible way to find out how under insured I was. Fast forward to today. I have fought my way back. Had a pretty good slush fund. The globalist cabal of tyrants doubled our taxes and wiped that out. Like a perfect storm of the penny less drunk and lack of insurance. I find myself behind the 8 ball again with the loss of my high dollar Freight cutting my weekly earnings by more than 50%
I will never get over the drunk bitch setting me back 10 years financially. And I will not truck till I am 70.
So retirement may be a struggle. But it will be done.
