    It's not about being new to trucking. It's about business acumen. Those are all good questions. What are you going to do with the answers? You have to know how to do your due diligence, build your business plan and manage to your model.

    Taz is going over to Schnieder ... he believes he's going to make more there. Maybe he will, maybe he won't.

    that auto will make you money with how much better fuel mileage it gets. I have one of the new t680 autos. expect around a 1mpg increase

    I just want to clear something up. I am not getting out of my lease because I am not making money I am making decent money. I just need to be home more and with schnider I will be planning myself. No dispatchers. Also better pay Not miles it's % and if it's bad just don't take it. But yes I want someone 2 take this lease over. Hijack is done.

    Logged in on the computer (I mostly use the app when I'm working during the week so I don't see sigs) and that's one nice looking truck you have there. I assume that's the new one. Hope she runs well for you.

    Thanks again everyone. Will have the first load tomorrow. Have to admit, taking a little bit to get used to. Keep wanting to push in a clutch and look with my right hand to shift, plus that sensor in the front bumper. All in all, a nice ride and more room to place things then I thought. Everything is in the truck and still have space in the back and up front.

    Learned something new today. They now have a incentive bonus. Complete 3 year lease and you receive $7,500. Complete a 4 year, $10,000. Your money. Use for the balloon and put it in your pocket. The 4 year is on the automatics.
