    Discouraging is an understatement, i wish he would post what happened to the truck and how far he got before it broke down. And to think that he was just a short straw from a new truck. That had to make it even worse!

    Went in to get a PM here at Jubitz today, while they were inspecting they found a wheel seal leak. Total bill $640.00.Not bad. Better than being stopped at DOT inspection. Stuff happens

    I am not very clear on the maint. accounts, did yours cover or pay for this better yet how does the maint. acct. work. Lets say you need to fix something on your truck, do you have to pay for it then get it out of the acct. or does JCT pay for it then take it out of your acct.? And LMB I just look at your truck, looks good nice and clean.

    They hold .05 cent a mile out for your maint account. When you get work done you call them, and they issue you a EFS check, then deduct that amount from your maint account. If you do not have enough in your account, they loan you the money. Your Maint account will show a negative, till you run enough miles to build it back up again. I had $4000.00 in my account. Since my truck has just run out of warranty, I raised my deduction to .08 cents per mile. I am thinking about taking it to .10 cents. My next big expense will be tires at the end of summer

    Alan, if I remember right, you said earlier about holding 8% out for taxes and what not. Is that including some type of retirement other than social security? If not, are ya'll running some type of IRA?
