    Not exactly a Dave Ramsey "We're debt free" yell, but here is an online yell. After 4 years of paying $480 a week, I completed the lease back in March and today I made my last payment on the promissory note. In fact I have a small credit coming next week. Since this is written instead of verbal, cover your eyes instead of your ears-
    THE BLUE LEMON IS ALL MINE AND I DON'T OWE A PENNY ON IT, NOW GET ME MY TITLE.

    Great news, Preacher Man! Now it's time to get out and start making some money on your own. Keep us posted on your next move.

    I have a copy of my dac, my psp and I just paid the state of Illinois $215.00 to transfer the Blue Lemon's title into my name. It's time to start looking to move and start making some decent money. All the aggravation and turmoil just add to the motivation, the real reason as a businessman to move is the low rate. Over the past year I have averaged less than $10,000.00 a month in gross revenue when I can go elsewhere and average over $12,000.00.

    I don't get it. I'm blowing that figure out of the water, and that doesn't include trainer pay. Anyway, good luck where ever you end up Preacher, and again congrats on ownership!

    Trainers have always received more miles than non-trainers.
