The odds are in favor of the house

If you lease the truck, you can deduct 100% of the lease payments. If you buy outright, you can deduct depreciation only.

 

I stopped at Lone Mountain today to no avail. I have the money , but not enough experience

 

If Lone Mountain had 2013 or 2014 Freightliners, I would call them, but they don't. I'm not interested in anything else they have.

 

What is it that you like so much about the Freightliners?

 

The new DD15 GHG14 model engines have gotten a lot of good reviews, and Detroit seems to be trusted more than the others. Cheaper parts also, from what I have researched.

But, to be fair, I have not really considered or researched Cummins and Volvos.
My experience with Volvo trucks has not been too good. I've experienced lots of electrical bugs and engine problems with Volvos I have driven. So that kind of turned me off, not to mention parts are more expensive.

As far as Cummins, I'm afraid I really have no experience with them nor have I researched them much at all. I'd be happy to consider them if I had reliable information and reviews that I could read at my disposal.

 

I know I'm bumping an old thread or at least an Old Post. But I think what he was trying to tell you and the rest of you new breeds. Why does it always have to be about how many miles,miles , miles , miles,miles,miles, get a real job
.36-.44/cpm is not real pay. It is not about the miles it is about how much per mile or what percentage of the load you make.

I do believe that was the point he was trying to make

 

Interesting read. From all viewpoints. Thnx

 

Hi , I am old
