    It's a used '14 Cascadia. 370K miles when I bought it. DD15 / 455HP / 10 SPD / TK APU had 4000 hours on it. Disc brakes all the way around. Stopping power is unbelievable.

    No money down. 7% interest.

    It sat where I keep my trucks for almost a year.

    Drive tires were junk. Steers were good Bridgestones.

    Just did new brake pads and all the airbags.

    Probably into it for another $8K in maintenance and repairs including all the new rubber.

    It's just about to clock 500K. 5400 hours on APU.

    Got like .........ohhhhhh let's just say a few dollars in the bank being in my 5th year at Landstarve.

    First truck was $940 month. The trucks I put my guys in are used Prime's. They're like $1500 month, no money down to them. By law there has to be a buyout, so the buyout is $100.

    Keep listening to shills you don't even know.

    Otter paid his off already. 2 years. Truck 2 had a new 2800 SF home built in Tampa area.

    This is a pic of my modest new abode.

    It's all just luck really.

    Sorry Dave I didn't mean for it to sound like I was taking a shot at you. I was just confused about what was being said. Truck at 48K 1.5k/mo for two years, if s guy can't cover those expenses he's ####ing up somewhere.

    You lease guys trucks or own a fleet?

    Lol

    The sticks WILL be the suburbs in a couple of years. I moved there in 91. That place sprawls like no other place I’ve ever seen.

    I’ve driven three KW’s the past 7 months. Why three? The first two had the same problem that you mentioned original poster and were unable to be repaired waiting on parts. Seems to be defective part of the T680. I’d get an attorney and sue.
