O ya can't forget the 3,700 balloon @ end of trailer

 

Those are brand new T680s. With 5 yr warranty package. I might need to look deeper into it.

 

I talked to Quality today,it also includes a 65k balloon payment after 5 years.

 

That is only $130,000.

 

Something is up cause a brand new truck cost more than 130k. I specced out a new Freightliner over a year ago and it came to 156, not including any financing. Thank god I came to my senses before ordering. This lp trucks must have a pretty sizable balloon at the end.

Saddle beat me to it. Anyone that would agree to those terms is a freaking idiot and deserves what they get.

 

I built up a relationship with my local bank only has 4 branches they bought out my truck from the lease with CRST I'm financed at only 3% and my truk payment was only $800 a month which I've been paying $2,000 should have my title by the end of the summer then they are going to finance my apu.. It pays to make a good relationship with your hometown loan officer

 

65k ballon payment? Ouch!

 

New truck payment schedule. $145,000.00 financed for 6 years @ 7.5% = 72 payments @ $2507.07 for a total of $180,508.77. If you buy a more expensive truck it would be easy to hit 190-195k total. That is based upon 100% financing with no down payment.

 

yeah they had some coming out, I was considering that also. but around 4:30 today got a call that my dad had a few hours possibly to live. hes been in a bad way for a while , he is hanging by a thread as of this posting still, glad I was home and hadn't loaded yet. I called and told I couldn't pick up the load tomorrow, well my wife did, at the moment I really wasn't able to carry on a phone convo. they didn't miss a beat, no hesitation my coordinator said" I will call the agent and let them know. family comes first." I know it put them in a bind, but no hesitation. no oh my goodness, not a hint of worry about the load. only told my wife to tell me not to worry and only concentrate on my dad.

you gotta love these folks.

anyway, I have known this was coming for a bit. I pride myself on being a hardass. I will leave ya with this, a song written and recorded by my first cousin about his dad. I hope every one of you have a kid who feels this way about you.
