QFT!
I'm hoping to be at no more that $800/month (i.e. $200/week) payment....and convert that into ZERO note within 36 months or less. <<fingers-crossed>>
Finally got my own truck

Edit to add: that holds true no matter what your truck payment is. Plenty of guys with paid off trucks go broke cause they spend everything they make.Oxbow, Knucklehead, Lepton1 and 3 others Thank this. -
It don't really matter if you don't have a truck payment - you still have to put money aside for repairs, and the truck won't last forever - you have to put away money for the next truck that you'll eventually get.
Now the truck payment I have, $2595/Mo, for 5 years, if I keep it for 10, I could technically, as far as my expenses go, spread that payment over 10 years and say to myself that my payment is only $1300/Mo but I don't.bulldawg trucker Thanks this. -
Oxbow, Lepton1, nax and 1 other person Thank this.

Sitting in Grand rapids. Market is pathetic. I'll drive the 110 miles and go home and come back out Wednesday and work the weekend instead of coming home Thursday for the weekend. I'm tired anyways and could use a couple of days. I'm not taking these $1.30/mi two day loads to Georgia. Screw em. I made enough money the past month to justify a couple days off.
cnsper, Oxbow, OLDSKOOLERnWV and 4 others Thank this. -

All that being said, I still wouldn't want a truck payment. I can repair or rebuild mine as needed way cheaper. Plus doing all the work myself helps. Matter of fact just saved about $3000-$3500 in just labor putting in a clutch and tranny. I just pay myself that money instead of the shop. Remember, don't work for freeK Wopper906, BoyWander and Lepton1 Thank this. -
BoyWander Thanks this.

Lol....Port urine? Lol...
Flint Detroit was so bad today every time I call on a load it's covered.
I dead headed to Ohio where I went to Speedco in Beaverdam and hoping tomorrow I can find a load to George Carolina for Friday. I can deadhead to Toledo, Dayton, or Columbus from here. -
