    Ok thanks. You were typing at the same time I was. There ain't no judgments or bankruptcy on my credit.

    just be honest with them, its no big deal. mainly they want to make sure you can handle the payments and your not going to go in the hole real bad if every week isn't a banner week. Unless your looking to get a premium lease truck...that's another story

    I would be perfectly happy with a Cascadia. It is the truck I have driven for the past two years and know how to set up my stuff the way I want.

    The interview process is not hard, but it is strict... Don't even think about trying to hide something. If you decline the credit check, they will probably ask why... but they won't force you to get it, options will be limited though. I was told an older used truck with 350k to 500k miles would be my options without a credit check so I explained my situation, she ran the credit check and everything's good...

    My credit rep is Jeff Hujet and when we talked thru the interview we both decided that a credit check would not be needed as I intended to go with an older truck. That being said he said that would cover up to 2014 and the original truck was a 2014 EVO with 145k miles. I did however decide on new truck and I had to have credit check. I was honest and told him about some problems I had in the past due to my wife's ex husband and he understood. Do not know if I could have gotten a "premium" truck though.

    The way to run the north east is early morning or night. That and knowing which routes to take when. Boston runs were always get up early to beat CT rush hour.

    You just gotta learn what routes to take and when.... It's a learning curve.... Rush hour in one direction OK, other direction not OK..... Get Google maps and turn on the traffic toggle, it is accurate 99% of the time in my experience.... Study it for the time and route you plan to take 3-4 days straight before you go, then you get an idea what to expect..... Of course accidents FUBAR everything....

    Tell me about it... 3:00am, rolling west on 66 headed towards Winchester... absolutely NOBODY out there except me and the pickup truck who was following me. Then I see a sign for road closed ahead all lanes blocked... lol yeah right its 3am there was an accident and they forgot to move the sign...

    A mile down the road, traffic dead stopped, all lanes closed, and yup... an accident. Car and big truck involved. Some had been sitting there for hours. Luckily caught it at the tail end and only sat for about 20 minutes. Always something. Hope everyone involved was OK, it looked ugly.
     
    Grijon, atruckr and mickimause Thank this.
