Rolling solo again..

[dieselphreak2K]

Well folks, as some of you might have predicted, my team operation is going it's seperate ways. I finally told J that it wasn't working, and on our next time home, the 8th, I will be dropping him off.

IT was hard to break a money making operationj up, however one must look past the dollars and see if it works on a diffrent level. I did not want to have someone that was a "steering wheel holder" at best running my truck, and had seen a total lack of interest or thanks in the opportunities I provided this school-fresh driver with. I tried to help a friend and got burned in the end.

Learn from my mistake, keep family and friends out of your truck, and like it's been said, make 100% sure you can handle the team arrangements you make. I thought I was all set, but it's those little things that kill, keep that in mind.

On the upside, I get my half of a 72" Bentz back, and you'll be able to reach me on the CB again....

I agree 110% diesel... If you only have to rely on yourself, you have yourself to be mad at when things don't go as they should.. I learned the hard way also, twice in the same trip..

I have been tempted by the potential income to advertise or look for a co-driver but always stop short. I admire those that can make it work with someone other than thier spouse or mate. I am just not one of them I don't think...

I don't think I'd be doing this if it wasn't my wife out with me!
I don't think I would feel at ease sleeping behind anyone else, plus all the cash goes into 1 account!

Me too, Dieselphreak - though I believe you'll do just fine, 'cause you know what you want. If you hadn't tried running team, you'd always wonder if it wouldn't have been better that way, and now you know. Keep us posted on the solo thing, ok?
