    Fueling in Florida also doesn't agree with my wallet. I only got just enough to get out of there and make my next stop.

    I already told you your years of experience make no difference leasing a truck. I could take my 13 years experience to TransAm and still make the ridiculous low rate of .84 a mile.

    I don't mean to thread jack brother.... But I really don't see why they charge for the APU, it's like saying okay, " today we are charging extra for the windshield" it's bolted to the truck therefore it's part of the truck.... Individual parts charging is nuts! Hey, you owe me .02 for the power button on the radio!

    I know. My lease you don't get charged for qualcomm, routing, APu, or tolls either.

    Tolls are free. I only pay for prepass. I get ez-pass, k-tag, pikepass, and sunpass. I only pay for fuel optimization, which is also optional.
