    So, how's Big Blue coming along?
    Did Landstar send you that stuff to put in your new truck?
    BTW, Opus stuff is much happier.

    If you need to study for the hazmat test, the practice questions on this site are excellent. I just kept on doing them until I could get 100%, went and took my test and there wasn't a question I hadn't read here.
    Did it twice.....2 certs.

    yeah Dave, I know to most it may just be "flu like." But as you've probably seen me say she has an autoimmune disease and COPD. She's also had a few strokes in the past. So she's at high risk. Same as my mom. But I've stayed away from my mom's during this time. Mom is on a chemo pill due to a blood cancer. Her body makes too many platelets.

    I actually thought it was my safety awards. After I read the paperwork that came with all that stuff, it was kinda like, " Well this sucks."

    If you're referring to the Kenworth, that's not a done deal yet.

    Currently everyone is crying poor. Paccar, Daimler, the lenders, oh Jesus the lenders.

    " Oh that rate in October was excellent. Things are all over the place now."

    Allow me to retort - Yea. Have more money, never missed any payments, all my taxes are paid."

    " Oh well, the economy is just so volatile."

    Allow me to retort again - You're not going to make up the price of that truck on me with an interest rate 2 or 3 points above what it should be. OR you can drop the price further.

    As far as Truck 4 it's basically ready. I already the plates decals, blah. I ordered it's e log yesterday. Took it for a joy ride too lol.

    Oh and everyone is pushing new trucks, because of like 5 or 6 months deferred payments. Not really giving that huge a break on price. The rock bottom I could get a 2020 - 680 was $144K and change with the 4 year 500K mile warranty. That's out the door.

    Deferred payments mean exactly jack schott.

    I'd think the banks would be friendlier since they're not paying anything for the money.

    I'd think so too, but we're just truck drivers.

    Man, we're not supposed to know anything, and I'm trying my hardest to know less, but I'm trying to figure out where the bottom is.
