    Is that all, getting mine at the end of the week. Be closer to $3,500 a month with $20k down.

    Strap a mailbox on the hood and apply for a 30 year mortgage. Home loan interest rates are pretty low. Might be able to get that payment down to $1000.

    10k isn't even ten percent. With a real down payment of a minimum 25 percent and good credit you will be looking at 4 to 6 percent interest. On 48 months that makes it a lot closer to 2k. A much smaller pill to swallow.

    How do you do it hauling "freight" ?

    Really, seriously,How do you make that payment hauling freight as a 1-2 truck operator?

    where's the vacation,Healthcare,SAVINGS,upgraded home and lifestyles?

    only way I'd ever buy a new truck would be in Chemical/fuel With my own contracts with oil/chemical companies....

    Wouldn't even do Dump-oversize work with new........

    Regional super B-train.
    Trucks here in Canada are pushing $200K now because of the drop in our dollar.

    It's really easy. My payment is a little under $2500 a month. It only takes a few days to clear that much. Another couple to cover everything else. Then if you work a few days you can spend the rest of your time doing whatever.
