    750 dollars a week for 4 years is 156000 dollars. Unless they charge less for actual truck payment or maybe more

    Here is a bit of free advice. When a bunch of your posts have the words "i don't know", or "i could be wrong", it means you need more research and planning before giving serious thought into starting a business. The time to know these things is before, not after you start a business.

    I've never owned a dorsey flat, but i hat good things about them.

    Personally if i was to buy another flat I'd get a mac or rouitner. Sure they are pricey but when i buy something i expect it to last 20 years so the sale price is not my main concern. 5k over 20 years is nothing.

    Right now I'm trying to make my mind up between a 48ft low pro tri axle with a 33 inch deck height on 17.5s or a stretch 55 ton with flip axle xl. The drop will be over 65k after fet. The xl is up near 100. Not sure which way i will go, but i am sure of one thing. I won't be doing either on a lease purchase!
