    It's impossible to buy ANY truck right now if you have any sort of business sense
    How are you going to pay for aa truck with over a 1/2 million miles on it that is due to start having costly emissions issues let alone your basic mantaince repairs

    If you ain't a large company, it's hell for you. Trucks brand new are almost double that now

    When one of my Penske leases goes down, we are having a hard time getting our 'replacement' rental as the lot is empty.

    There is money in Trucking right now.
    You need a team an reefer to run West to East Coast.
    They won't drive manual or old equipment.

    So only option is that high mileage expensive stuff.
    Easily should net 50k with that team in a month.
    It pays off quickly.
    Emissions is 50/50 for a while . There are beta fixes that work.

    I’d like to see that claim broken down
    While spot rates first of year are typically up...now avg 10.5k east..,,& expected 5 rounds (which is very aggressive thinking)depending on west return freight
    Cost of operations IMHO 50k net a bold figure
    Care to share???

    Net is 1 thing profit is another.. break it down and tell me what the truck makes after wages and expenses... you forgot the 100k refer your buying to pull behind that cash cow .. better figure that payment and refer fuel and maintenance cost too
