    Is this System Transport gig?
    I would save cash and buy truck with good maintenance record and lease it onto company.

    Because if he did what I'm doing, he'd fail. Not everyone can do what I'm doing and succeed like I am. What I'm doing is crazy, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. And btw, if you have something to say directly to me, instead of hijacking a thread, send it to me privately. It's clear you have some kind of issue with me, so why don't you just private message me and vent?

    Option 1 is your best choice at this time. Sure thing, do it, bank some $$$$$, then go O/O.
    Option 3 is a distant second choice, but might work. You give too little info for any decision.
    Option 2 is not a good choice for you. Most plans like that are stacked against you.

    Just my thinking, based on facts presented and my experiences.

    Unless the T2 is cherry and has a lot of recent work I wouldn't touch it. Option 2 just sounds like a dumb idea.

    Excuse me !!!!! What issues? Cuz I said to send the OP your thread ? That was to let the OP see the BS your going through. And cuz I mentioned to stick with "Balls if Fury"?, that was a joke. Seems you lost your sense of humor being in the road to long. Btw, I do follow your thread, makes me feel extremely comfortable what I do. Yes, skateboarding does have its perks but what job doesn't. I only deal with 2 trucking/brokers and I have my own rates I go by. Now, if had something personal against you, I wouldn't hide by starting a separate conversation, it would be in the open. Its more dramatic when the your "cheerleaders" support you. ;)

    Is there a 4th option?:confused:

    Option #3 is a $9,000 truck that needs a $25,000 engine. Don't kid yourself there. It's probably a beat up piece of junk anyway that just needs to be scrapped and sold for parts.

    Option #2 sounds similarly like a get poor quick scheme.

    Option #1 sounds like the only way out of this one.

    Option 5 find a better paying job, save more money, buy a pre 2003 truck for cash. There is a nice K in classifieds for 35k, get something like that. Old, but well taken care off.
     
    Toomanybikes Thanks this.

    I've seen several trucks sell for less than what an inframe costs that have had one done recently. So yes, it does happen.
     
    Ruthless and blairandgretchen Thank this.
