Running your own rig used to bring in good money, but now? Between the diesel prices, servicing, and parts, the bloody thing brings more headaches than actual cash. You think you’re having a good month, and then bang. One breakdown and 8 grand wiped out just like that
I was absolutely sick of the grind, just completely over the stress of keeping the truck on the road, but I finally found an out
Saw some bit on ABC news about a commbank backed investment platform. Normally I wouldn't trust the big banks cause they're only out to line their own pockets, but I was ready to take any chance to dig myself out of this hole, so I said fuck it and chucked my details in
Some bloke from their team gave me a ring, explained the ropes, so I just started out with $500
Cleared 5 grand in the first two weeks. Three months later my balance just hit 76k
Finally sold the rig and got out for good. No more mechanic bills, no more logbooks, and no more endless shifts. Just being home with the family is all I care about now
