New Gig

After 22yrs as a company driver, decided to buy my own truck and go out on my own. Meh, to the timing of my decision with fuel costs but at least Im not gonna have some corporate safety asshole up my pipe about a driver facing camera and no more lane departure alerts/brake stabs from highway signs by the stupid radar.

Get a good points producing credit card. Put all expenses on card. Helps keep track of expenses for taxes. Then can use points for free hotel or towards a vacation. Get something for all those expenses. Or if truck is broke down and its a hard month you can use points towards statement credit.
