Booking long distance loads

I'd honestly rather have an older truck with no payment. You're not forced to work for the truck the truck works for you, cheaper insurance, and overall just more pride in the ride. I believe trucks these days are designed to only last 4-6 years, to keep people in a cycle of buying their trucks. No different than cell phones. They aren't trying to make these EGR engines last 10-15 years, they want them to be replaced every 4-6 to keep people forever in debt to them. At least Caterpillar said #### that and had the balls that nobody else had.

 

Theres your answer

100k miles in a 6 mpg truck at 3$/ gal is about 50k on the nose

Same 100k in an 8.17 mpg truck qt 3$/gal is only 36.7k$ in fuel, but costs you 31k in a payment every year.

So who wins there?

 

So the new Cascadias are running around 127K? What were the terms? How much did you put down? What was the interest rate on the loan?

 

Look at lone mountain websight.

It tells you the down and monthly nuts. For new trucks.

 

This was used. Had ~150K on it. New trucks are $140-160K depending on specs.

 

How many $ in repairs were covered by warranty in the truck that still had payments?
