Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member.	Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member. I've been out of my truck since September 2016 due to cancer surgery. This September will make me one year cancer free. Since then I put together a retirement and have been struggling to make ends meet, but thank God he made a way and I give God all credit. I want to go back but I'm alittle nervous about it due to the rain and the costs to run and now elds. I was wondering if things have changed for the better or worse, please be professional, I would like an insiders opinion. I just turned 61 and I still feel I have a few good years left. God bless you all and thanks. Please be safe.

Thanks for the reply, I have a 05 classic XL with a 1 year old new motor, has a wet kit on it, I was with Oakley when I had to drop out, thought about just alk out and go it on my own if the rates would support it. Thanks for taking time to reply.

If God gives you his blessing then he'll provide a way for you to get back on the road. As for doing it on your own, If you have your own trailer and authority. I say do it.. That's the way I run my operation. It took me a little bit to get hooked up with several companies in my area. That gave me several resources to get loads from. The greatest benefit I've found is that if a load is just too cheap, I don't have to take it. When I used a dispatch service, I felt obligated to take what ever they threw at me. Those days are behind me. Good luck to you sir, God bless you.
