    Update first truck I got was crap took one load couldnt deliver it truck in shop 3 day . Went by tge house picked up a couple things and the wife. Truck broke down with same problem. So went to Springfield.
    Best thing is explained situation to leasing and had no problem letting me get another truck.
    Now have 2016 freightliner. Love this truck runs like a dream.
    Little advice when picking a lease truc . Pay attention to the maintenance reports. Cannot stress that enough cause I didnt and it cost me time and lost revenue.

    In my case any major break downs. You have to read carefully but any major codes it had to be fixed. Also dates of those codes. To many and all around the same time period be cautious about. Make sure the problem had been fixed correctly.

    Well pulled myself out of a $700 hole and still brought home close to $900. This week has been ok. Bouncing around northeast. Good money low miles but still a lot of work plus a lot of tolls. Will see on friday if my math is right but looks like $1000 or better bring home.
    Love this company so far feels like home for an otr company. Not to hard to make money as long as you work.
