    I own a 2000 International. It's a good truck - 650K original on a detroit 12.7. It's been inspected to death. It is in great condition.

    I have been letting the truck sit because of the rates.

    I need to find a place to lease on that does not use brokers - a company that has their own freight.

    I guess a lot of people can't do simple arithmetic. I know what my costs are. I'm not interested in running for nothing. I'm 66. My record is clean (knock on wood).

    Even the great big outfits use brokers from time to time

    Good luck. While you are at it ask them to get a hot blonde co pilot for you.

    That's why we can't have nice things, because cheap carriers like you come and undercut everybody, driving for nothing (sarcasm)

    !!!! That's it!! Sell the truck, buy 2 horses and a wagon and with the freight rates today I may make a profit. What are pre 2007 non DPF horses going for these days?

    No no... you need 1999 horses. They are exempt from EOBRs.
