    Don't use 3000 miles per week in examples don't even use 2500 per week........Your Not going to average those numbers 52 weeks per year, I Don't care what anyone says to lure you guys on.

    Use an average of 1800-2200 miles per week..Why?

    Your gonna have Weather- Your gonna have "Well,We don't have nothing right now"
    Your gonna have congestion Everygay,In every City in every part of the country.
    Your Gonna Get Tired..Fatigue Will Set in and You'll start needing 2-3 solid days off once in awhile.
    Your Gonna have Family obligations,...List goes on and on.

    IDont use those Numbers you posted as real World Miles........Don't work that way. Sure You'll have a month or 2 cramming 12,000 miles In 4 weeks- Then Your Tired and Worn out.

    When I do buy a truck,it won't be abused by driving salted roadways.
    I doubt I'll get much time off.
    The payments are still due when I'm down.
    All my expenses are rounded up.

    An honest load board should be paying $2-$3 anyhow.
    I'm not pulling anything for less than $1.50.

    I barely 45 weeks out of the year and would work less if I could find a golf course I could play year round on and oh yeah if the wife and grand kids wouldn't get on my nerves!

    The truck note is probably $500-$700,the remaining cost is insurance...one wreck and a loss of cargo..just imagine your insurance rates.

    I have poor credit unfortunately.
    I would go through a dealer for a 2018 truck..no need for a middleman.
