    Yeah I didn’t mean that brand of truck per se lol. That was just the first example I found on Truck Paper. I meant just in general a little older, relatively inexpensive etc. I have thought about buying in the next year or two as well, and I personally wouldn’t spend huge money on a truck for the patch lol. Something not quite so expensive to fix or something I could work on myself with it being older.

    True they’re hurting in Texas but once I got used to the pay I’ll still be doin the same #### work if I were in ND haha rather less pay with potential of more than more pay with the disadvantages of ND

    Amen to that. Would hate to buy something that looks nice then go to #### because of the lease roads

    I have my own authority now running dry van.. I wouldn't go back out to the patch unless I was able to lease on with someone who had set wells...
