    Congratulations!!!
    It’s young guys like you and a few others on here who renew my faith and remind me of what trucking used to be.
    Your a young guy with old school ethics and values and I predict that combination is going to take you far!

    It was not to bad. Just cosmetic damage on the passanger side. But the body shop quoted the repair estimate at 32k . that is if they dont find anything once they tear into it

    @D.Tibbitt check out western trailer in Spokane and see if they got any of systems steps floating around. 48’ with a sliding spread. I think they are front slides and I know they been going through a lot of them and replacing them. Might be able to into one pretty cheap while you spec a new one and wait for it to get built. Congratulations on getting the ride paid off too.

    Thats a good idea , i didnt even think about systems trailers. I will check them out. That would probably be best since i roll thru spokane multiple times a week. Thanks for the info

    Was $27K to rebuild my sleeper I jacked knifed mine with an empty oil tanker on MT. Hood in 2019. :oops::oops::(:( Paint job didn’t get done quite right with the blend on the drivers side so take it from experience to have them paint the whole sleeper instead of blending it. :(:(:(

    Absolutely impressive. You don’t hear of many positive lease purchases.
