Thoughts on this truck

Where are you physically located, Ohio? If so, where about?

 

It's all about you mate, your choice, your money, spend it well by doing your due diligence, get a qualified mechanic to check it out if your serious.

 

Mansfield, yuck... We are looking for a few drivers up here in Detroit, we work out of Woodhaven, the Detroiter Truck Stop right off of I-75. We have automotive freight that runs down your way and are hiring. And I get nothing if you come aboard... We also have a nice little Volvo that has been well maintained sitting here for sale. I think $14,000, probably get it for $10,000... Work four days, putz around, you will take home at least $2000... Work 5 or 6, take home, if you hustle, $3000 to $5000 net. BUT! The ELDs are being installed, so no clue yet on earnings. I have been here 3 years, used to have my own authority, I am not going anywhere.

Oh, all O/O, maybe 5 or 6 of us running at a time... No company truck competition and GM Expedite Carrier of the Year.

 

LOL! Yes. Without even batting an eye. That is in 3 or 4 days, roughly 1000 miles, if that.

On Edit: IFTA Miles.

 

Sir, you are looking at this all wrong, this is a business, not a travel agency. I just told you of a place where you can drive roughly 2,000 +/- IFTA miles a week and TAKE HOME $2,000 to $5000 a week after expenses. And a decent truck that you could purchase at a good price that has been maintained with all of the records included for a below market price. Also... Children and pets are not allowed here. We are very serious about the work we do. We did not win GM (General Motors) Expedite Carrier of the Year, WE EARNED IT.

Seriously, you really need to rethink your priorities. No offense, but this is a job, not a 'Lifestyle".

Think about what I just stated. You are paying to much for a truck.

 

How much is your house note? Mine is paid for, and so is my truck.
