    I like it since most ATM's have a max limit of $500 withdrawal, yeah, here's $500 today, I'm good for the $4500 balance, as I drive off lol.

    I-5 rates are cheap in general, I don't know about reefer, but that sounds on the low side of cheap. I do better than that pulling a company curtain van & have the benefit of great fuel & tire discounts etc.

    I don't see how you can make it on one round a week. Appointments in Lacey are a PITA, I go there maybe twice a year & hate it. You have to find a way to do two rounds, make a triangle, whatever it takes to get more miles, hopefully in doing that you'll get more $$ too.

    I can't see who the carrier is, is it still some variant of Mike Campbell, Team Campbell, M&V Leasing? For a minute I thought Cheema was doing that, then it looked like was Penske. Last time I was in Lacey it was some logistics co. Campbell has had as many aliases as some of the Yuba Cty Sikh guys.

    or do what I do my mechanic told me to wait for him to get a truck in the shop needing an overhaul but cant afford it. at that point they are willing to take whatever they can to get rid of it. so buy it for like 5k then have him do the overhaul and now you have a truck U spent 25k on that is ready to make money with minimal maintenance issues
