    Look, we book on where it's going, what it weighs, and what it pays. I couldn't care less about the FSC and if you'd ever done this, you wouldn't either.

    For the most part I'd agree with that. It's all about what you're happy with, but I'm not a big fan of companies lying to me either. They certainly wouldn't accept that from our behalf. I guess it's all about what you're willing to accept and put up with, so I probably wouldn't try to assume how other's would think.

    Actually it can make a difference in maximizing profits if you are a MPG freak like I am.

    Not everyone cares and that's cool. I'm just a penny pinching Scrooge.

    That 23k repair bill is 477 a week for a year, plus he said he was down 2 months thats another 12k a month so 24 grand...thats 50 effen grand a new truck cost 150k IDK about you guys but I bet he was stressed to the max over it. For another 100k you have new. FW I know we pay alot a week for these new trucks but we ARE still paying them off. A 3 year old O/O truck will bring top dollar for trade in.
