    Truck/trailer are tools used to make money. Using someone elses tools doesn't make you as much money.

    Im assuming you're in a position where you have a good paying job with your dad, so having your own truck will make you more money, but not something you need to jump on right now.

    With everything screwed up the way it is, who knows what the best move is.

    How hard do you plan on working a truck like that? 2-3k mi a week, every week? You saw the pic I posted of the '87 359 my friend bought recently right? I got to see it in person yesterday and it's friggin cherry. He's got 1 200 loaded mi run in with a 200mi dh, and the ac took a dump on him. He bought the truck as a working show truck, basically a toy that makes $. He's already got a list of stuff that needs to be done before he considers it reliable.

    Without knowing any details on that truck, it could be stone cold reliable or a complete polished up money pit.

    Thanks Jim, it is a great day. Some of the encouragement we got from some folks in #5, including some that don't post here anymore, really did help us get through some tough spots the last couple years. Only fitting to share the success.

    We appreciate it brother.

    Hey man, been our goal all along.... to be able to haul the sub $1 freight with the rest of you big players ;)
