Additional Insurance Cost - Rider Policy

All im saying is ive read thru all ur threads and know the exact path youre on. If you plan is either to scrape by or go broke. Well youre already broke my friend. If your truck was aquired thru a lease purchase, me personally i would see about getting out of that contract and finding something else to do.. your company doesnt care about you, nor does this business, nor does any shop, or any customer. Actually the only people that care about you is yourself, and the people on this forum trying to help you see the path youre on, is not a great one...
The biggest cause of failure in this business is undercapitalization. No matter how smart or educated and experienced you are, if you aint got the money to pay the bills, and then your equipment starts needing a bunch of work and then you got downtime, and lack of work etc.. these problems are solved by money, and money only.. nothing else.
Me personally i would give my truck back to the company and take my loss and go find somethin else to do in this industry to rebuild my bank account... I hate to watch a guy go down the same path i have because i know where it leads and its not a fun time. But only you at the end of the day can make these choices.. pride dont pay the bills at the end of the day, and scraping by or going broke aint a very good business plan. At that point youre already done, just wasting your time and whatever cash you have left..

If you want feel free to pm me if you need someone to bounce ideas off of. Like i said most any contracts can be gotton out of. Ive also done a lease purchase. I dont claim to know anything about trucking, but im a couple miles further down the road that youre on and still trying to find my way back. I might be able to show you what youre future might look like..actually your story and mine practically parallel eachother.

 

No - it’s the 12’ wide rule of thumb for width. Thats where it starts to cost accessorial $$.

Over 13’6” is where you need to pay attention in height.

I said over dimensional. You didn’t think about it. Height is where you exponentially trash things.

Just sell the truck, get out now, and save some lives.

Your stubbornness, even with the grace of many other driver’s knowledge, . . .

 

You just said GPS. I hope you have a height stick, and for the love of all that is good, stay below 14’ tall until you have all the rest of this figured out.

 

@AFC , I am just asking, is that lease one of those with the $1 buy out at the end?

 

Ahh, alright. I thought you had a lease purchase thing. My bad. That is a nice truck you have, though and, good morning to you as well, Sir.
