    Actually there are. You are just used to Mega trucking way of doing business, but there are many different things happening in the big spot market world.

    One thing to note. There have been equipment owners sued and lost millions just for being the owner of the equipment. Another company was involved in a wreck with their equipment and they got included in the lawsuit because everyone is when a truck is involved in a wreck.

    Use it to haul a nice 5th wheel and enjoy it travelling around.

    Look at it this way ,
    If you inherited $40k
    What would you do with it ?

    would you go out and buy a freight liner truck with it ?

    or would you use it on your house or just save and invest it ?
