    They don't push you into anything.. in fact they even offer a one year to "see if you like it".
    You might not like a high truck payment but will you like sitting in a shop for repairs more often and having huge repair bills instead?

    For me I don't care.. I averaged over $3000k a week after expenses the past three weeks and that's with my huge Kenworth flease payment.
    The way I look at it is that if you're not hauling cheap freight things like truck payments and MPGs don't matter as much.

    sure they can I had a clutch go bad at 30k miles
    The Eaton Warranty covered that one.

    If not I would have been out soooo many thousands of Dollars it's crazy.

    Overall new breaks less than old.
    It's something everybody has to weigh for themselves.

    You guys that run the load boards, what service do you use for internet so you can see the load boards? I have Sprint right and with the amount of data I use each month, I average over 50gb/month in usage and looking at Verzion, it's basically taking my $72/month phone bill at Sprint and turning it into a $500/month bill with Verzion juts to have the same data usuage. I just want to know what you use and what works the best. Thanks.

    Sprint coverage not soo bad in midwest / northeast(especially along the freeway), but for sure Verizon still has widest coverage, especially when u needed access when sitting in middle of nowhere, but if you only need access whent taking a break at a truck-stop then Sprint will be just fine.

    I have a sprint cell phone with unlimited data and a Verizon jetpack for mobile internet which I use for the laptop.
    Verizon charges an arm and a leg but the coverage is everywhere.

    Yeah, I have my phone rooted and use it as a hot spot all the time :) I'm just worried the coverage won't be there when I need to look for a load. I have a pay as you go Hotspot with Verizon and it's an arm and a leg for 3gb, that's why I was looking at a contract with verizon.
