    And you give someone substandard equipment, expect a substandard job.

    You should come over to the local side. 1.1 million mile t600 doesn't sound so bad lol.

    One of my daughter's friends is having a birthday party at gator world in Orlando tomorrow. While I applaud the parents for having a birthday party somewhere educational it feels kinda weird to have someone pay for a birthday party somewhere to see snakes, turtles, and Gators in Florida.....coulda just went to the park lol.

    Might be real soon. The mileage isnt the issue, Ive run higher mi trucks and loved them (99 Volvo). The issue is the truck in question has never been taken real good care of by any drivers. Ive run it in the past and while it does the job, its like living in a cheap motel in a bad part of town for 120hrs a week.

    Im going from a truck that has all the options including very good insulation so its quiet, a good fridge that help me cut back on food costs to a truck that has no insulation, shakes and vibrates going down the road, and a host of other issues.

    But it is what it is. To me it tells me my worth to this co.

    If you have the money. Maybe it is time to get your own truck. Or better yet, buy the one that needs an engine and fix it right!

    That sucks. When I went from a 1998 Sterling to a 2017 Cascadia I image I would be pissed if I had to go back so I completely understand how you feel.
