Maybe it's not for me...?

2008/2007 emissions ...... Everyone gets that messed up

 

120k a year for company driver.... Can I have you spot when you leave? lol I understand you saying taking the gamble. I am about ready to do the move as well. But my job only paying 40k. So little different.

 

Most 07's had 06 engines in them, NXS is the last good Cat.

 

Ok. Is the ACERT, bridge engine any good? I haven't heard good things (haven't heard bad except from Bruce, either) about engines after 6NZ.

 

Bridge motor is good with some software changes. The Acert is a good engine, even better with some computer enhancements.

 

I run a bridge motor. If you're buying one with the right upgrades it's just as good as a 6NZ. Bullet proof. For me to buy another truck that had one as the original set up again, it would have to be a really nice truck. It cost about $4,000 on the low end to make a bridge motor right.

 

Stick with hauling crude. How many outside contractor s is your company using now? How bought two years ago? Rates are still down and oil is down.

 

I think that's a wise decision, if I could make 120k as a company man I'd sell my truck in a heartbeat

 

Milk that 120k as long as you can. Many a good man has gone broke trying to do this owner operator thing. Some succeed most fail.

debt free is the way to go. That is the only way, not to be a slave for someone or something
