    But it includes a job! At $1.25 a mile!

    As old as those are, you may have a hard time finding anyone that will finance them. Look up the values of the equipment. That trailer is beyond 10 years and is worth no more than 10k, a 2011 tractor is probably pretty worn, has the engine had an inframe? If not, it's probably worth less than 15K.

    Being brutally honest it’s not even worth $20k, but I was sugarcoating in my previous post. I can buy ‘13-‘14 Cascadias with maintenance history for $15k all day long and am having a hard time deciding if they are worth it.

    $45 will get you a 2012 glider kit with 600k on it. Then lease a trailer? I wouldn't touch an 08 to 13 truck with a 10 ft pole. And now that I have a glider I wouldn't touch an emission truck at all. Way to expensive and hard to get fixed.
