    I don't know what's all included but a buck a mile for O/O seems a bit low... But that's just a knee jerk reaction...

    Do you have to pay for your own fuel for that?

    Thinking, off the top of my head and without crunching any numbers, one might be better snatching up one of their used trucks for $60k and get it paid down quicker. Yes, one might have a few more repairs on a used truck.

    That is higher then most companies pay lease drivers. Most companies do 6 years of payments plus a balloon payment. Yes they have to buy their own fuel. I'm not a lease driver. This is just what I found out from an Abilene lease driver.

    @KD5AXG Do you have a big radio setup at your home or are you not really active operator? I have a Handheld. I'm a Technician. I am studying for my General now.
