    I believe rick is waiting to buy any more trucks than they already have, to see what the turn out of the election is going to be. I ain't trying to bring up politics but I strongly believe that's the reason they don't have any condos till then. Or else they would have some on the way for next month.

    no matter who wins the election, rick is going to be training more students.

    he went from 1400 to 2000 drivers right through the darkest part of the recession.

    good luck, your biggest concern is going to be fuel costs, my son owns a w9 with cat power and hauls jet fuel.
    said if he go back in time, he would get a late model aero trk with a detroit. Has two runs a day and cruises 70 to75
    to get his runs done within the 14 hr window avg mpg 5.5 to 5.6 . On days where there is only one run he slows down and can get 5.9.
     
    DrtyDiesel Thanks this.

    If I do buy one it will have a 500 ISX cummins, 10 speed trans, and 2.64-2.90 rears. Not sure on the rears but that girl won't see above 65mph with me behind the wheel so I want my cruising rpm's at 65mph to be around 1350-1450. If a student is driving they will go 60 and not above 65. That's what my trainer did with me.

    It and other posts like it have already helped me -- thanks for posting. (Apparently I don't have enough posts yet to be able to "thank" someone for their post...)
