By the way, over the road owner operators are a dying breed.
In my not so humble opinion.
Back when Diamond T, REO, Mack Trucks and White Freightliners were the main trucks on the road and Mack introduced the more efficient more powerful Maxodyne diesel engine, trucks were workhorses, not horribly expensive, not horribly luxurious. But truckers demanded more. Not just a sleeper in back of the cab, but a luxury apartment. They needed more speed, more power, MORE CHROME. Single axles couldn't pull the newer larger loads so everything became tandem. Trailers were extended a few feet at a time form 40 to 53 feet in length. Truckers needed more power. They asked for it and they got it. Fuel was cheap and speed was easy to come by. They got everything they asked for, including the price tag.
Old truckers never die. They just get a new Peterbilt.
