ADVICE!!!!!!

Financially the smart thing to do would be to sell the KW, it should bring a fair amount of money. But personally I would sell the Cascadia and drive the W9. Just list it for sale for what you owe on it, and keep making the payments until it sells while driving the KW. Turning it in would be extremely foolish as there is no need to do that.

 

I would sell the Cascadia and drive the other truck.

Even if it cost you ten or $15,000 think of it that you have a truck that nice and that's all it cost you.

 

Depending on if you have your own authority. Put a driver in it yoiure not going to make a lot of money on it after expenses but you’ll still make money. And you can take that extra income and put it into savings.

Edit/ by put a driver in it I mean cascadia not the w9.

Those who think you should sell a paid off truck might have something wrong with their heads.
It’s a spare truck and you’re not hurting for money

Sorry about loss

 

You drive the w900 and hire someone to drive the shaker. At least that way the truck is paying for itself instead of the payment coming all from your pocket while waiting on it to sell. What ever you do don't just let it go back. Because when the finance company sells it at auction and it doesn't bring enough to cover the loan you will still be liable for the difference. Then you would still be paying for a truck you no longer have and your credit will be ruined. Keep a driver in it until you can get it sold.

 

You guys and finding a driver ... you try it and see how easy it is to find a good driver who won't trash the truck.


Sell the kw, it is the easiest to sell and what ever you get out of it is free money. Use it to pay down the fl or pay it off, you still come out ahead.

 

You've made this point about hiring drivers
On numerous threads.
I get the feeling you've had some bad
Luck on hiring drivers.

The question is:
How many do you have to go thru to get
A good one?

 

But if he’s making money with one he will make double with two! That’s how it works! Lol

 

He probably went through 100 before he found one.

One time I interviewed with a O/O with a nice 379 and dane reefer with what I consider to be a absolute money making dedicated run. Cookies and pretzels down and craw fish back every Tuesday. By the end of the interview I said to him let's get going. We are late already.

He smiled and said hold on, look at this for a second. Opens the drawer and reveals a foot high stack of one page application forms just like the ones I filled out prior to talking with him. Then he says you wonder how many of these have no tickets like you do.

This was before the cell phone and internet. Everything was done by hand.

He wanted ... actually he demanded drivers not to have a ticket for insurance purposes. That makes me unhireable until the third year the tickets fall off the record. (MVR etc)

You might as well take the industry out back to the woodshed and shoot it. Better to be done with it than to be branded this, labeled that or made a outcast because Mr DOT wrote a few tickets.

 

Everybody who hires drivers has bad luck hiring drivers!

To darn many, you have to go thru to many to find a good one. Good driver are a needle in a hay stack. You can thank the Mega’s and these Cdl mills for that!!!

 

i would keep the w9 just because it was your brothers truck and never let it go
