Big questions for all timers.

how long this rough ride will continue this time ? what do you think ?

 

32 months. Because I plan on selling in 31 months

 

ok

 

In may 2009 i bought a 2005 MY Century with 420k miles on it from Louisville Selectrucks. I paid $27500 for it . that time brand new utility dry van was 26k at dealer

 

It was a great time to be a cash buyer.
Bought 2 belly dumps, 2 full frame end dumps, and a KW W900 for $100,000

 

That is a decision only you can make, I been through many ups and downs ( in the game since 1979) asked myself the same question a few times. The bottom line is if you make the choice to stay in, my suggestion would be to tighten your belt as much as you can get rid of the truck that is not paid for and you drive the paid for truck maybe even sell the other paid for trailer while the market is still high, pick and choose what loads you take to remain profitable. Be a business man first and in the end as I'm sure you have heard before
its not how much you make its how much you get to keep. The market roller coaster always cycles, the hard part is how long the low lasts and being able to ride it out. Those that have been here before will tell you when your in the up cycle you make and save all the hay you can because the downturn will come again.

 

Ever had sex on a water bed?

Its not totally unlike that.

Up and down, and sometimes you get ........ bad.

 

You're dating yourself Martin, and yes......yes I have! Twas the cause of 2 outta 3 kids!!!!

 

I'm 52, feel like 139.
Just the one daughter left, one passed.
I'm old, I'm cranky, get off my lawn!

 

The blame for #1 was the overshot of a gooseneck horse trailer!
