    Keep saving that truck payment after it's paid off, $35k in 2 yrs...nice down payment.
    I've done 4 d/h's in the last 20 months, but I've never had a single issue with their trailers. Couple of them have been brand new. The trailer rental has saved me several thousand dollars, 5 months off in the last 20 with no payment.
    However, next year my running habits will change and buying a trailer might be more beneficial. New trailers cost around $30k, and 4-5 year old trailers have great residual value...$15-18k.
    Don't hold back, tell us how you feel....

    It's 585 plus a milage fee over 7700/month.
    I wouldn't call it a rip off, it's about market rate.... Much better than the deal that Landstar does and a lot of carriers include it in their percentage. But since it's a separate deduction I can get the tax benefit. Plus when I take off a month or three, I can turn it in and have no payment.
    Works for me currently, that might change in the future...
     
    RStewart Thanks this.
